Review

“Not only a triumph of graphic art but a compelling work of literary interpretation. [Kuper] has designed a masterful synthesis that retains Conrad’s language while pressing beyond the limits of Conrad’s vision.”
- Maya Jasanoff, Coolidge Professor of History, Harvard University, from the foreword

“An effective visual rendering of a notoriously ambiguous novella.”
- Paul Armstrong, professor of English, Brown University

“The major achievement of this adaptation is Kuper’s ability to capture Conrad’s irony by going beyond the merely expressionist. It provides a space of play that enhances the moral of the tale.”
- Simon Gikandi, Robert Schirmer Professor of English, Princeton University

“[Kuper] doesn’t just retell the book. He destabilizes it, forcing a reconsideration. Most importantly, he does so with vast skill and care.”
- Etelka Lehoczky, NPR

“[A] haunting, graphic novel adaptation that filters the 1899 classic through a modern lens, reexamining colonialism and xenophobia, while still focusing on the story’s core theme: the battle against oneself.”
- Los Angeles Times

“[H]aunting. ... Kuper’s angled figures are drawn with the kind of feverish intensity befitting the tale’s clamorous climactic utterance of 'the horror, the horror.' ... This respectful adaptation proves why readers continue to return to trace Marlow’s route down the river and puzzle over the relevance of its message.”
- Publishers Weekly

“Kuper approaches this adaptation with a mixture of respect for Conrad as a novelist and a keen sensitivity to postcolonial criticism of the text, frequently combining Conrad’s won language with visuals that confront or subvert the author’s colonialist perspective without losing any of the haunting power of the original.”
- Library Journal

“Kuper is a master cartoonist, and his pages and panels are a feast for the eyes. Gorgeous and troubling.”
- Kirkus Reviews
