About Typhoon

Joseph Conrad's Typhoon (1902) is his most approachable and most comic novella — Captain MacWhirr drives his ship directly through a South China Sea typhoon because he lacks the imagination to conceive what a typhoon actually is. The comedy is organized around the contrast between his complete literal-mindedness and his complete competence as a seaman, making Typhoon Conrad's meditation on whether intelligence is actually necessary for virtue.
