ellacusso 's review for:
Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
reflections from first read:
heart of darkness is one of those books you would have to read for a lifetime to fully understand. when i read that it was ambiguous, i didn't anticipate this ambiguity to permeate Conrad's style of writing so deeply. Marlow's spiral into madness is shocking, sudden, and a disturbing exposition of what was really going on behind the minds of imperialists of the late 19th century. i have to revisit this novel before i have anything else conclusive to say.
