Christopher Chubb

[edit]

I declined the speedy deletion of Christopher Chubb because he's a literary character not a real person. But I'm not convinced of notability as this article doesn't name that character so I redirected it here. If anyone wants to expand the article about him from a redirect back to one line and then into an article feel free to undo my edit. But if you only have a paragraph to write on him I'd suggest adding it to the article on this book and switching the redirect to point to that section.

If anybody feels inclined to write up the character it might be worth drawing attention to the Conradian parallels. Neither a Kurtz nor a Lord Jim, Chubb is somewhere between, a haunted figure "gone native" to survive and whose speech has become infected by Malay. One thinks also of Eric Ambler's character Arthur Simon Simpson clinging to his British passport for the imagined status it confers on him. Everybody got to be somewhere!
