Maybe like one story, but don't remember which one. I do like Kevin's writing.

COVID-19 Great collection. Realistically dark? I guess that’s what I call these. Really enjoy this writing style. There it is. That is all.

Kevin Wilson writes unique characters so well and this collection has some of his darkest.

Man. This dude is a great author--weird, simple, funny, stylish, complex, tender, mystifying...but, at least for these stories (I wasn't too fond of his previous novel), never errant, never wasteful. In two of these stories, the descriptions of grief and personal relationships were so powerful I wept. Great great stories.
