"No Such Thing" aspires to be a version of "Beauty and the Beast" for the media age. The story concerns a bitter, misanthropic monster in the modern world. Beatrice, a kind-hearted journalist finds him on a remote island near Iceland, and brings him to America. There were some elements of parody on the mass media and tabloid system, but there just wasn't enough for my taste. The story does have its poignant and artistic moments. It doesn't shoot for a happy ending. But, in the end, "No Such Thing" doesn't become the perfect fable.
