One of the first things I did after coming back home from my summer trip, is grabbing Ernesto Sabato's Tunnel for the second time. I had first read it in early 2008. It was in my head throughout the summer. I felt that I have missed the book and I need to re-read it. By it, I mean its mood, its characters, its amiable yet aggressive narrative style. The Tunnel is simply a great novella. It talks about one of the main reasons behind literary production: human loneliness and the search for a connection with the eternal. The main character is a painter, Juan Pablo Castel, who gets obsessed with one of his gallery's visitors, Maria. This obsession with Maria takes up most of the pages and is tiring for us readers, yet so intense that it becomes contagious. Life or existence to Juan Pablo is like Maria, and he doesn't seem to understand it. In one instant he is laying his head on her lap by the shore "like a baby." In another, he is violently grabbing her arm to get her to confess about something that his doubt created. And, finally, in another instance he murders her. (dont worry this is not a spoiler, it is actually the first line of this book.) This crazy relationship and this obsession is all in Juan Pablo's head and heart and in his confusion. It is the tunnel that he has created or was born into. A tunnel that is parallel to everything and never seems to intersect with anything but his loneliness. With all this being said, the main attraction of the novella, for me, is its impeccable enthusiasm. Imagine, for example, Albert Camus' The Stranger, Meursault, but with all the enthusiasm. I can say that Sabato's Juan Pablo Castel is Camus' Meursault but in the opposite direction, with an overdose of enthusiasm towards his loneliness and confusion instead of Meursault's lethal apathy. After reading this book for the second time, I feel energized, enthusiastic, and in the same time melancholic. The exact feelings that I wanted to remind myself of.

I found the narrative and writing style very hard to follow in this story, which made it a little difficult to get into. The story made a lot more sense on a second reading, after I had read King Leopold’s Ghost by Adam Hochschild. The story, however, is not the salient thing to take away from this book. Heart of Darkness is a semi-autobiographical account of Conrad’s visit to the Congo Free State in the early 1890s. The atrocities that Marlow witnesses in the story—starving, overworked, and abused natives—together with the inefficiency and corruption of the officials are probably things Conrad himself witnessed. But Conrad combines the expose of the realities of Congo life, highly controversial when the novel was originally published, with a deeper philosophical question about human nature. The Europeans who are in charge, including Kurtz, are far away from laws and public opinion, which appears to be what allows them to behave as they do. But as Marlow quips, “all Europe contributed to the creation of Kurtz.” Marlow makes several other comments about the “dirty business” of conquering a nation, pointing out that the Romans were no less brutal to Anglo-Saxons. In general Marlow seems to be the only character able to hang onto this perspective, and who remembers that the natives are actually as human as he is. Through this Conrad seems to ask if the “heart of darkness” is really something unique to the African setting, or if, in fact, this “darkness” that compels men to subjugate other men exists within all of us. Yet, as some critics have pointed out, even Marlow is a product of his age: he uses racial epithets and at times makes a snide remark about the “superstitions” of the natives who work for him. Marlow even feels a certain amount of admiration for the ruthless Kurtz, though he alone can see the true danger of the blind admiration that Kurtz inspires both in his Russian assistant and (apparently) some of the natives he has oppressed. Though I didn't enjoy reading this novel the first time through and merely skimmed it a second time for better understanding, I can appreciate why it is considered a classic.
