Heart of Darkness White Lies
Heart of Darkness: White Lies Joseph Conrad's slender volume Heart of Darkness, published serially in Blackwood's Magazine in 1899, has probably received more critical attention per page than any other prose work.

Hemingway’s ’the Handle’: Death and Deliverance
The labyrinthine structure of what is perhaps Hemingway's least-anthologized novella, "The Handle," belies its peremptory dismissal by many critics as a hastily written jumble of vacuous dialogue wrapped around a poorly-contrived plot. "The Handle," a posthumously published novella that Hemingway penned in the frustrated years following his Nobel prize in literature for "The Old Man and the Sea," is the story of a farmer, set in a sleepy fictional province of rural Ohio, whose yearnings
