Gottmann's urban photography shows architecture and human beings, both mysteriously blurred and strangely disconnected from one another. He creates photographic metaphors that evoke a general, self-inflicted anguish inherent in modern Western society: Façades rise impressively into the sky, leading the eye into deep skyscraper canyons, while silhouettes of the human figure seem fragile and helpless. The question arises whether society is still in command of its self-established, modern values or if it's suffering from them.

Modern Sufferings: Gosbert Gottmann
Short version: Not bad for a long magazine article, not great for a book.
Long version: I wouldn't call this so much a history as an expose, a nice journalistic paddle in the shallows of what the SCA is. Every so often, O'Donnell seems to hedge in the hopes of not offending SCA folk, which can be frustrating, if understandable. Further frustration sets in when you read about a particularly interesting aspect of the Society about which O'Donnell only has superficial things to say. Certainly don't expect to hear as much about fighting as about people. Perhaps the most satisfying thing is getting the back-story on Valharic, currently King of Atlantia and soon to become the Duke he dreams of being in O'Donnell's book.
