I bought this out of a mild curiosity to find out a bit more about someone I only knew from reading Heart of Darkness, and knowing that Chinua Achebe had criticised him.
It's a brilliant book, which I didn't really expect, combining biography and the inspiration for his works really well, and I found it way more readable than I expected.
