Symbolism is author-wanking, nothing more.
Not inherently, Nathan. Like many other things in writing it is a tool (albeit one that is sometimes employed unconsciously), and as with any writer's tool, it can be overdone. Then it becomes author-wanking, just like excess sentimentality, melodrama or any of a hundred other things can. It's one of many spices in the stew -- in the right proportions it adds immeasurably to a story, but too much and what comes out is unpalatable.
