Dart of Harkness

[Andy]

Jane Eyre is to Wide Sargasso Sea as Heart of Darkness is to ????

Has anyone written a postcolonial HoD and shown us how the "brutes" saw Kurtz, Marlow, &c? I want fiction and Apocalypse Now (which I love) does not count.

Too tired to write any more zzzz......

It's not simply a postcolonial HoD, but Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, especially when read alongside his essay "An Image of Africa" (http://kirbyk.net/hod/image.of.africa...), provides a great response to Conrad.

The Tribe That Lost Its Head followed by Richer than All His Tribe .

Maybe not quite written from the perspective you're after, but Monsarrat is very easy to read and might keep you awake...
