Wierd story

[Ludens]

I rather liked it. The story line seemed somehow familiar, but the writing was good. The narrative did seem a bit unequal at points, but I suppose that makes it more real since this is not supposed to be a perfect account. I have to admit I don't understand the point of the ending though. Nay-bobs?

Well, it ought to have a familiar storyline, since it is a retelling of Heart of Darkness.

That was the intention of the narrative: it is meant to have an unreliable narrator.

The "Nabobs" is a round-about reference to the movie remake, Apocalypse Now: One of Kurtz's speeches centers around what he calls "nabobs," or liars. The word itself was first used by Spiro Agnew in reference to the media.

I didn't know either of those, so I guess that's why I didn't get it.
