I feel like there is a lot I still need to understand about this story. But the language was wonderful and captured the infinite suffering of the Congolese in a very moving way.  

Thin PaperBack borrowed from the Akron Public Library.
Lake 8 Ticket for Top Gun: Maverick used as a bookmark.

Needed a short read before my big read this summer. Gives more insight to Apocalypse Now, which I am due to revisit very soon.

Read some time in early 2023. Will return one day and give a real review.

There is not much story. The inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film Apocalypse Now.
