This is such a treat! Prepare for the wise words, dulcet tones and excellent book taste of the great Kevin Wilson! Kevin is the author of the massive bestseller Nothing to See Here, The Family Fang which was turned into an acclaimed film with Nicole Kidman, the critically lauded novel Perfect Little World and two story collections Tunnelling To the Centre of the Earth and Baby, You're Gonna Be Mine and his latest, the brilliant Now is Not the Time to Panic. We talked to him about his love of British pop music, Shirley Jackson as a comfort read, a deep dive into the Babysitters Club, Ann Patchett as a writing and book selling inspiration and the emotional impact of Origami Yoda.
