Heart of Darkness is a beautiful exploration of the horrors that are buried inside of us. Conrad’s writing is worth internalizing. Sparknotes will tell you how something is anti-imperialist, or give you a simplification of a theme or motif, but Heart of Darkness is a story that must be appreciated as a story.

What a system, the APs, that encourage seeking a basic outline, a summarization, a surface understanding, instead of undertaking a deep journey with a novel and getting truly close to the words. The horror, the horror.
