Baby, You’re Gonna Be Mine | Chart listen

Keep Baby, You’re Gonna Be Mine in your ears from this list — Kevin Wilson’s complete audiobook, free to play.

In Baby, You’re Gonna Be Mine, Kevin Wilson’s 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. “Wildfire Johnny” is the story of a man who discovers a magic razor that allows him to travel back in time. “Scroll Through the Weapons” is about a couple taking care of their underfed and almost feral nieces and nephews. “Signal to the Faithful” follows a boy as he takes a tense road trip with his priest. And “Baby, You’re Gonna Be Mine”, 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 Wilson’s crackling wit and big heart. Filled with imagination and humor, Baby, You’re Gonna Be Mine is an exuberant collection of easy to stay with and charmingly bizarre stories that promise to burrow their way into your heart and soul. ©2018 Kevin Wilson (P)2018 HarperCollins Publishers
