He's just really excited, nothing wrong with that.

Conquest of the Useless

Non-fiction, but heavily inspired by HoD.

>Dehumanization
What do you mean by this? Please don't say you buy into the bullshit that "Heart of Darkness be racist and sheeeit we wuz kangs."

>>7708421
It typically refers to when group A dehumanizes group B, meaning they can treat them ammorally.

Sorta like that.

>>7708437
Heart of Darkness did the opposite, though. Marlow made a point that there wasn't much of a difference between the "savages" and the "civilized" and even preferred Kurtz's brutality over imperialist hypocrisy.

The Crime of the Congo by Arthur Conan Doyle is a good contemporary non-fic response to that book.

Ligotti is all about dehumanization
Darkness at Noon by Koestler is good along with Gulag Archipelago

>>7708421
The dehumanization of one's mind. Like how the person changes for the worse after reaching his destination, like the end of the river in HoD.

The arabs in L'Etranger are pretty dehumanised.
