3.0 out of 5 stars
bizarre vignettes in a strange european landscape,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Yellow Sailor (Paperback)
This is a series of bizarre vignettes set in a bleak, hopeless central European landscape in the time of war. The sailors drift away from their wrecked ship like so many splinters, each encountering sadness and heartbreak. Weiner's writing style is clipped and colourful. He paints vivid images with a few words. Only three stars because there is no single character to sympathize with in this story. Each man floats through the scenes, performing disturbing acts and reciting strange dialogue. It is very fantastical, but ultimately unfulfilling. Thankfully, it was a quick read and the author didn't try to turn it into a 500 page epic.
