Book review:

Heart of Darkness

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924)

Edinburgh, Scotland: William Blackwood and Sons, 1902

Recently I re-read Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. It’s short, quite readable, and sombre, of course.

You may think you know the story because you saw Apocalypse Now. The book is more exploratory. It has more of humanity in it.

The protagonist Marlowe (picture Mickey Rourke in a Panama hat) dives pretty deep into the abyss of human nature…

Give the book a shot if you’re not looking for light reading.
