Magic in the Mundane and Dysfunctional Families: Discover Kevin Wilson’s Books
When Kevin Wilson stopped by our Poured Over podcast, he talked extensively about what he chooses to explore in his work and how his books show his personal evolution. With literary influences like Ann Patchett and George Saunders, it’s no surprise that Wilson’s stories of family include elements of magic — even as things fall apart.
Talking about Now Is Not the Time to Panic, Our August Fiction Pick, Wilson said, “My art has always grown alongside the anxiety of family.” Looking at his books, this sentiment is clear: even as his characters endure chaos, they find moments to cling to each other, no matter how dysfunctional the family.
