Title: not so wonderful
Review: Many of the stories in this collection have interesting concepts behind them. However, most, if not all of them, suffer from Wat's rambling style. At many points in his stories, his style seems overwrought, and it simply serves to obscure the meaning (not in that possitive "Faulkner" way). The pick of the litter here is the story of the isle of Kings. In it, Wat seems to state that a society cannot exist in a vacuum. In order for it to grow, it must come into contact with other societies (cultures). Thus, man left to his own devices eventually devolves into a barbarianism. Many of the other stories have good ideas behind them (like this one). However, I found this collection, and it's author's style cumbersome, and unenjoyable. I would recomend it only if you are either previously interested in Wat, or if you're deeply (and I do mean deeply) interested in European existentialism.
