In Baby, Youâre Gonna Be Mine, Kevin Wilsonâs first story collection in nearly a decade, Wilson combines his signature quirkiness with his keen eye for emotional complexity to explore the fraught relationship between parents and children.
âWildfire Johnnyâ is the story of a man who discovers a magic razor that allows him to travel back in time. âScroll Through the Weaponsâ is about a couple taking care of their underfed and almost feral nieces and nephews. âSignal to the Faithfulâ follows a boy as he takes a tense road trip with his priest. And âBaby, Youâre Gonna Be Mine,â the title story, is about a narcissistic rock star who moves back home during a rough patch. These stories all build on each other in strange and remarkable ways, showcasing Wilsonâs crackling wit and big heart.
Filled with imagination and humor, Baby, Youâre Gonna Be Mine is an exuberant collection of captivating and charmingly bizarre stories that promise to burrow their way into your heart and soul.
