“An impenitent & unashamed dandy” – from Joseph Conrad’s Letters to R.B. Cunninghame Graham, ed. C.T. Watts (Cambridge University Press, 2011), quoting George Bernard Shaw

He is, I regret to add, an impenitent and unashamed dandy: such boots, such a hat, would have dazzled D’Orsay himself. With that hat he once saluted me in Regent St. when I was walking with my mother. Her interest was instantly kindled; and the following conversation ensued. ‘Who is that?’ ‘Cunninghame Graham.” ‘Nonsense! Cunninghame Graham is one of your Socialists: that man is a gentleman.” This is the punishment of vanity

Chris Hedges: The New Dark Age

The Nazis are scapegoats for a Western heritage of mass slaughter, as if genocides in the Americas, Africa and India are mere historical footnotes. In fact, genocide is the currency of Western domination. By Chris Hedges in Cairo, Egypt ScheerPost It…

Been listening to #ColumMcCann perform his novel #Twist.

And I hear in interviews that he sees it relating to #JosephConrad's #TheHeartOfDarkness.

And I find that I've somehow missed that The Heart of Darkness is set in the horror of the #BelgianCongo genocides.

So next to listen to Conrad's book.

Y'all I speak French very well, even if I have a Joseph Conrad level accent. But I had a difficult moment tonight over the word découvrir. Apparently that means you can ask questions. To me, it just meant find out, when used as a command in French. Cue more you know star,I guess. But this actually caused some friction tonight.

📰 Rui Lopes publicou um ensaio no @Publico sobre a literatura de ficção de espionagem, em particular sobre "O Agente Secreto" (1907), de Joseph Conrad, e o impulso que este livro deu ao género literário na viragem para o século XX.

« A heavy atmosphere of oppressive quietude pervaded the ship. In the afternoon men went about washing clothes and hanging them out to dry in the unprosperous breeze with the meditative languor of disenchanted philosophers. »
#JosephConrad "The Nigger of the Narcissus", 1897, incipit of Chapter 5.

Du Conrad « pur jus » : le monde des marins, les phrases à rallonge, la surcharge d’adjectifs, le balancement « latin » (vs anglo-saxon) de la phrase, le vocabulaire chargé d’influences indo-européennes, et le questionnement implicite du philosophe sur le monde et ce qui, comme le vent pour la marine à voile, le pousse sans qu’il puisse en prendre le contrôle.

Every age is fed on illusions, lest men should renounce life early and the human race come to an end.
-- Joseph Conrad

🚨 new book alert! 🚨 4 new books on #Modernism
Facing the uncertainty of Modernism, the treatment of #spectrality & #ghosts in works by #JosephConrad, #EMForster, #MaryButts, & #ElizabethBowen is analysed by Stephen Ross: "There is hope in these ghosts, not resignation"

Found these (apocryphal?) stratements by #JosephConrad in an unsigned introduction to "The Nigger of the Narcissus" :
Capitalism : piracy with good PR.
Imperialism : a grandiose front for old-school rape and pillage.

Capsule Review Archive – Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

https://write.as/robinmarx/capsule-review-archive-heart-of-darkness-by-joseph-conrad

There are three #modernist #writers whose #ShortStories remind me of each others', that I often wonder whether they read one another. No matter how unlikely it might be, given their different times and milieux. Here's the list, in rough chronological order:

* #SamuelClemens/ #MarkTwain.
* #BrianONolan/ #FlannOBrien/ #MilesNaGopaleen.
* #HermanCharlesBosman.

Seems most likely that Twain could have been read by the other two.

#JosephConrad fits in here somewhere too, I suspect.

There must be research into this kind of link. Modernist short stories are fundamentally important artefacts of the 20th Century, so this sort of thing must be known.

Based On #Colonialism #Racism & #Genocide in Congo and beyond is chronicled by Sven Lindqvist (1996)
Book Title is a quote by Kurtz from earlier “fiction” classic Heart of Darkness by J.C. (1899)
