Nostromo?
The character Jack Croker seems an interesting reflection (a simplified and purified one) of Giovanni Battista Fidanza, the eponymous Nostromo of Joseph Conrad’s novel, also of 1904. I don’t know which appeared first.
Has anyone commented on this? Was the character just one familiar in maritime stories of the era? Rt3368 (talk) 21:41, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
