Re: VNBibliography: Rudolf Sardi. An approa ch to VN's "Öth erworld"

I thank Don Johnson for the Sardi piece. One of the footnotes intrigues me:
14. “Terra Incognita” was said to be inspired by Joseph Conrad’s
similar novella, “An Outpost of Progress” (1896), in which the author
relates his own experiences in the Congo. Concordances with Conrad’sHeart of Darkness are also relevant at this point.
Does anyone know where this claim originates?
Many thanks,
Piers Smith
