"Lord Jim” writer (6)
I believe the answer is:
conrad
'lord jim writer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for conrad that I've seen before include "Joseph --, writer (Lord Jim)" , "Author of Lord Jim" , "Heart of Darkness author" , "Joseph ---, Polish-born novelist" , "Joseph --, author" .)
