Save Me From My Shelf

Episode 61 - Heart of Darkness


Listen Later

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our sixty-first episode, we finally cover the most glaring omission on the show: Joseph Conrad's 1899 pre-modernism Imperial Gothic novella, Heart of Darkness. We close the circuit on our Things Fall Apart episode from S2 and get a cool International Man of Mystery sting which can sadly never be used in another episode.

Episode Theme: Karol Szymanowski, 'Nocturne and Tarantella, Op. 28', 1915.
