Karel Čapek - War with the Newts - 1936

cross-posted from: kbin.social/m/13thFloor/t/359206

Karel Čapek’s last major novel, War with the Newts, is a satirical dystopian masterpiece, both prescient and timeless, uniquely Czech and yet universal in appeal. Published in 1936, it remains one of the most thought-provoking novels ever written.

I only rated this book 2/5 stars. I don’t remember it much, but now I’m wondering if I somehow missed the point of it.

I’ve always dug it because it was one of the first explorations of a successful invasion from another species, and it was an excellent scifi deconstruction of colonialism, one that was groundbreaking for the time it was written (right before WWII).

I’m guessing I didn’t pick up on the deconstruction of colonialism
