Bacon Design bacnboss08b08c — This book was a tough slog. If I didn't like Conrad so much, I may never have finished it. The book really takes its sweet-ass time getting to the point! But Conrad wants us, like the characters, to question what the whole point of busting our asses doing whatever it is we do if we all just end up dying in the end. Eventually, Conrad gets around to providing an answer, but I think he wants the reader to fumble around in the dark for a bit. Some might say this should've been a short story instead of a novel. There are a lot of seemingly unnecessary passages of sailors talking about nothing. Lots of poetic flourishes about the sea. These things don't have much to do with the plot, but they really immerse you in the events of the novel. By the end, you genuinely feel like you've spent a lifetime with these characters. It's those long passages of mundane character interaction in the middle that help give the novel's final pages their emotional resonance. The effect is truly stunning. The closing chapter rivals the best moments of any Conrad novel.
