tldr it's unsurprising that the scholars who consider this to be a piece of anti-colonialist literature are all white
beautiful prose and interesting psychological commentary wasted on a horrifically racist novel with a shaky plot. kurtz making himself be worshipped in the village would work as a metaphor for colonialism if the rest of the narrative wasn't constantly dropping the n word (and worse) anyway. it's a really disturbing read, the only reason I don't regret it is that I now understand just how racist colonial Europe was

podeszłam dosyć pozytywnie do tej lektury a i tak mocno mnie zawiodła, widzę tutaj niewykorzystany potencjał, autor na tak wiele sposobów mógł napisać to dzieło i nawet krócej a wybrał nudną bezosobowość, dużo rzeczy nie wyjaśniając...
The literary equivalent of watching paint dry except the wall yells the n word every minute or two
