Title: Just because it's gnomic doesn't mean it's pithy.
Review: Gilman plays language games, flaunting her inventiveness with rare and dense compound words such as "unenskied" for almost 400 pages. I'm not complaining out of stupidity; I know what "unenskied" means. My point is that 400 pages of such language cannot save a book in which nothing new happens. The language, though poetical, weaves an unnecessarily dense thicket around the meager plot to conceal the fact that we've heard this old "go to the alternate world and save it from the Dark Powers" story before. Virginia Woolf's language can transcend plotlessness, but Gilman's can't.
