About this listen

Plots should be fast-paced, with plenty of action and well-timed jolts, right? In The Secret Agent, however, Conrad sidelines the big events and makes the revelation of those events the real story. This is no more true than near the end, when Winnie, almost in real time, processes what has happened to her brother, as her boorish husband tries to cajole her.
