After SEEN: Apocalypse Now Redux, it’s been made clear to me, by inter alia Scott Welch and Michael Masiello, that I need to go back and read Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness.
I’m cool to do that; he’s a master stylist, and style is what makes me able to read prose.
Although I have to admit, the main argument for me to read it came from my wife’s friend Jill. “It’s only 100 pp.”
