Review

A very strange story, more fable than story, more fantasy than science fiction. Definitely an experimental New Wave sort of story, but a bit too obscure in it’s meaning. In attempting to be more literate, some authors just fail from trying to be too artsy. I don’t think this is a failure, just not a success.
