re: #170 Dr Lizardo

IIRC, didn’t Conrad’s Heart of Darkness deal with the whole “going native” thing? It’s been years and years since I read it, but didn’t Kurtz basically set himself up as some kind of deity-like figure? I could also swear in the story he’d also taken an African woman as his wife/partner/consort.

It’s been so long since I’ve read it.
