A Creature Wanting Form is a bleakly funny work of fiction from a journalist widely celebrated for his wry, mordant take on life. Filtered through the lens of a writer and characters who are horrified by the earth's looming mortality, and their own, but still compelled to carry on, O'Neil interweaves science fiction, allegory, fables, poetry, and reflections on the deeply grounded indignities of modern life.
