I can see why it's a classic, but it's so wordy and descriptive that the story gets lost in the details sometimes. It's short, and that's helpful, but it's definitely a hard read just because of how dense it is.

I have never been made to feel physically sick by any book before this. Colonialism has never been portrayed in such a filthy light. The fucking horror stabbed me in the gut.

“The horror, the horror”, I like to think that monster Henry Kissinger uttered those words when his last moments were hopefully plagued by images of his blood soaked legacy.
I felt no peace reading this book, just a profound sadness and resentment. Over 100 years after this novella was written the world still hasn’t learned it’s lesson, colonialism and imperialism wears mask, whole countries are being blown up and our kids will ask us the same questions we asked our predecessors “how could you have let that happen?”.
