so-so
(1730) This is a sort of sequel to Gulliver's Travels, ostensibly a travel memoir by Gulliver's son John, actually by the French historian and critic Pierre Desfontaines, who had translated GT into French in 1727. As an imaginary travelogue it's not bad: we visit a land ruled by women and others where people age rapidly or backwards; interesting enough, but as a sequel it feels like it misses the point, lacking GT's imagination and satirical bite
