I would not have connected it to Conrad without Kostova's comment. <br /><br />I do love <i>Heart of Darkness</i>, but the love developed over a number of years. It wasn't until I began teaching it (and connecting it to T.S.Eliot, Dante's <i>Inferno</i> and <i>Apocalypse Now</i>) that I realized that each time I read it, I discovered more.<br /><br />However, I've never read <i>Lord Jim</i> and must do so, as this is the novel Kostova specifically mentions.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-25983170434583623032010-01-29T07:25:06.933-06:002010-01-29T07:25:06.933-06:00Oo.
