I like surrealism, but this was too surrealist for my taste. It was almost incomprehensible at times. The stories also got repetitive, they all started to blend together for me.

I was looking for wild sci-fi, completely surreal stories - and I got them! The writing is beautiful. It often feels like prose more than a plot driven story.
K-Ming Chang's stories are wild. They don't play by the rules. Gods Of Want will take you places that you didn't know you wanted to go. These tales are intense yet delicate, mystical yet down-to-earth. Their black-hole gravity will suck you in before transforming into a warm new sun; a thorny, poison vine that becomes a gorgeous flower. For fans of Karen Russell, Haruki Murakami, George Saunders and Aimee Bender.

This had very beautiful things in it, including the prose, I just think surrealism might not be My Thing.
