His writing is often as bleak and sparse as the islands themselves, and there is often an emotional distance between himself and the people he meets; Kauffmann is far more connected when he recounts the islands' history than when he lives its present. Voyage to Desolation Island is a wonderful meditation on solitude and alienation, but one can't help wondering whether Kauffmann doesn't unwittingly reveal as much about the price he paid for three years in captivity as he has about the Kerguelens. --John Crace
