Heart of Darkness: chuds try to read it because they heard it's short and racist, but then they give up when they realize Conrad barely learned English.

Why do chuds like Heart of Darkness? It's a criticism of colonialism.

Did you ever read "The Grass is Singing" by Doris Lessing?

Is set in 1940s Rhodesia and there's this minor character, a young British man in his early 20s who just arrived to the country as to work as a farm administrator. The Bong brings with him a Cecil Rhodes biography and a bunch of chud books on racial theory.

I think chuds just fantasize with being Mr. Kurtz or with having a life as a white settler in colonial Africa (native servants included). I kept imagining /pol/tards types would 100% be the types to move to places like Rhodesia in the 1940s-1950s or to colonial Jamaica in the 1700s.

No but in school we read The Power of One about this white savior boy who goes down a mine and becomes a boxer and a hero to all the Blacks of South Africa who love him for boxing and for being the singular not-as-racist white person in Safrica. @Sneedman did you ever read this one? Is it less inspiring if you're not the Magical Mayo?

Heart of Darkness is so kino. Everyone knows all of the obvious works that were inspired by it but once you read it for yourself you realize just how pervasive its influence is.

Heart of Darkness kinda sucks imo and no i dont know all of the obvious works that were inspired by it, but i hate what it has done to westoids perception of the Congolese interior. Through the Dark Continent : Vol1 however is probably the greatest book i've ever read. Much more interesting and significantly more informative and truthful, but it's probably a tough read for fictioncels

I thought the fact he writes likes he's translating it through two languages is what made it such a great read. It gives the prose this really fever dreamy atmosphere which fits with them all having tropical diseases and experiencing the horrors. Its unintentionally impressionistic and it makes it so special and all of its adaptations have made that a core part.

I also know its popular now to call it a racist book either as a chud or a woke but I think the worst thing it says about the Congolese is that they are no worse than the Europeans. You're supposed to go "but they were better" (which they pretty much were in the Congo) now but it was written at the turn of the century, Europeans are no better than those they try to improve is about as woke a statement you can get for a mainstream novel written then.
