Full Description
Using Kamel Daoud's The Meursault Investigation and Juan Gabriel Vásquez's The Secret History of Costaguana, this book asks you to serve as the jury on euro-modernism, specifically the canonical texts Camus's The Stranger and Conrad's Nostromo. The book reveals the extent to which euro-modernist aesthetics was culpable in rationalising colonialism.
