I have to say, I didn’t really “get” it. I wouldn’t call it a bad book by any means, some of the prose describing the environment & Kurtz were quite lyrical and beautiful—but quite often it just got difficult for me to follow, in the sense that it was unclear to me what was really going on/where things were heading, or what the point of a particular scene was. I really liked Apocalypse Now, too, so maybe I just had high expectations going in.
But I’d love to hear from you all why you liked it!
