Heart of Darkness is a great novel, and one of my favorites . . . and it didn’t make me hate whitey.
Same here. I love how Conrad writes.
I didn’t read it, but the description speaks about the horrors of white supremacy in colonial Africa? Sounds like something someone would read to bolster their prejudices, but like I said, I never read it and the reviews make it sound really bad. However, to each his own, a few people in the reviews loved it. I know I read stuff to bolster my prejudices (like FreeRepub), so figured O would too.

That’s because you’re NOT looking for something to allow you to hate... (I read the book years ago and enjoyed it...)
