Feast of Famine by Adam-Troy Castro

In a pocket dimension, a privileged galactic prince spends centuries eating his way through an infinite buffet. That about says it all. But there is also so much more to this story. The prince starts at one end of an endless table and encounters every conceivable food in the universe. He cares for nothing but eating. In this dimension, he can do so without any physical consequence. The author hits on a surprising number of topics in this unusual story.

Feast, indeed! Here we have a feast for the gustatory senses. It is in turns humorous, extreme, and disgusting. Part of its appeal is that is seems to go on and on like the buffet. And it’s absurdity makes it one of the most unique stories I have ever read.

My rating: 4/5
