You remember Marlow, the complicated Englishman of Conrad’s earlier Heart of Darkness? (Don’t get too cocky, it was only ten recipes ago.) Marlow’s baaaack, this time telling another man’s tale. Jim is a young seaman who fancies himself a hero—only to abandon a ship full of Mecca-bound pilgrims when tragedy literally strikes. (Note: if you wanna make some serious coin, go back a hundred years and write about conflicted men at sea.) Told out of chronological order in an innovative, multi-narrator format, Lord Jim can nonetheless get a tad stuffy. Spice these Brits up with a famous English beverage that’ll turn any host into a hero. 1 cucumber, sliced thin into wheels, including 1 wedge for garnish 2 ounces Pimm’s No. 1 1 (12-ounce) can lemon-lime soda Lemon wedge, for garnish Place several cucumber wheels in a Collins glass, fill with ice, and pour in the Pimm’s. Fill to the top with lemon-lime soda, squeeze and drop a lemon wedge into the glass, and garnish with a cucumber for serious cred.
