Taylor brings the coffee for Dylan to try. They discuss various themes of their long-standing favorite novel, such as existentialism, absurdity, psychological descent, light-dark dualism, hypocrisy, & Marlow’s seeming indifference in the face of racial oppression. What do we do with the absurdity in our own lives? Is Heart of Darkness inspired by Ecclesiastes? Does this story represent a de-creation? Even deeper reflections include: What is custard, anyway? Why is most modern Christian music so bad? Is blueberry wine even a thing?
