Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard by Joseph Conrad
I read Nostromo after seeing it mentioned in The Company. The novel did deal with capitalist enterprises in South America, so there was some connection. It seemed "familiar". There were Italians and English involved in various parts of activities in this country. Things would seem familiar for a bit, then I would get lost. This is one of Conrad's longer books. I just did not have the patience to adequately engage with it.
