Terrible way to write a book!

I admit I didn't get very far into this one but this is what I got from it--it consists of 7 short stories written in the 1930's? by a man that afterward moved to an island to be alone? then a young editor wants to republish his book but first they had dissect each story?

I just found this to be so boring and stupid by page 50 that I gave up, I read reviews on Amazon and I guess you have to read all the short stories and the dissection before you get to a twist? of some kind at the end? what?

this just wasn't for me at all, it was a mess with no sense to it
