Description
What We Wished For is an extraordinary exploration of the sweeping concerns of our time—gender and sexuality, isolation, technology, power, polarization—filtered through a funhouse mirror of magical realism and experienced through deeply relatable characters whose desires, foibles, and failings are nothing compared to their heart-wrenching humanity.
Advance Praise
"Ilias Kyriazis has created a wonderfully imaginative, socially relevant story about innocent childhood wishes going horrible wrong. I couldn’t put it down.” —Jay Faerber (Area 510, Copperhead)
“A book that feels powerfully of the moment loaded with unforgettable and complex people. I couldn’t look away from this work, vividly brought to life in a way only Kyriazis can. WHAT WE WISHED FOR will stay with you, affecting you, long after you’ve turned the final page.” —Alex Segura, bestselling author of SECRET IDENTITY and ALTER EGO
"What We Wished For is the exact sort of book I'd wish for, capturing the divide between childish fantasies and the reality of getting what we used to think we wanted most. Brilliantly drawn and written, it's a thoroughly modern fable about expectation, power, and how much who we meant to be aligns with who we really are." —David Mariotte
"WHAT WE WISHED FOR had me gripped from the first page -- after all, I played magic and superheroes just like the heroes inside these pages! But then, it twists! Then, it's a leap from wonder to adulthood that would make IT: PART TWO weak in the knees! Here's a gripping, provocative look at the wishful innocence of youth and realities that creep in and break them down. It's a true, raw, modern myth -- one you can't miss!" —Steve Orlando
