Juan Barrios imockup — Chelsea Handler is my favorite comedian/talk show host. I enjoyed her book and while reading laughed so hard I cried. Definately one to re-read again and again.

Julie Vatuone jvatuo200e92 — The HEART OF DARKNESS is a frame story. The outside frame consists of four men sailing on the Thames on a boat called the “Nellie.”The narrator of this part of the story, one of the four men, turns the story over to one of the other men, Marlow, who speaks for most of this short novel. He describes how he was hired by a company trading in ivory to retrieve one of their agents from the heart of the Congo—a man named Kurtz. Before Marlow describes his adventure, the Thames is identified as the river used by the Romans when they came to subjugate and exploit the barbaric tribes living in what would eventually be called England. This brilliant irony is meant to parallel the contemporary English and their exploitation of the blacks in the Congo to the Romans and the ancient English. Marlow’s spoken account describes a descent into darkness. The superior technology of the English Europeans (guns, steamboat, machines) is used to exploit the ivory trade and subjugate the natives—who are variously referred to as savages, cannibals, devils, and the “N” word. I couldn’t disagree more with those who claim that this novella is racist. It is a depiction of racism--much like HUCKLEBERRY FINN--at the end of the 19th century in England and Europe. When Marlow eventually finds Kurtz, after a harrowing steamboat trip down the Congo, he is horrified. The man has made himself into a god for the natives, has killed and beheaded enemy tribesmen, and essentially become more savage than the savages. The interior of the Congo is literally the heart of darkness (the impenetrable, foreboding jungle), Kurtz has a heart of darkness, and the allusion to the Romans at the outset suggests that all humanity possesses this defect, which shows up in generation after generation. I found the novel to be an inspired indictment of European colonialism and an extended metaphor for human evil. I downloaded this for free to my Kindle and read it in two days.
