a rather brilliant white guy

I wanted not to like Kevin Wilson. This is year 2 of decolonizing my bookshelf, and here's this white guy I didn't want to read, much less like.

But the fact is, he's talented and sharp and wildly creative. I've read 3 books so far. First, Nothing to See Here, which tore me apart with its absurd wit and ungrudging heart. I also blew through The Family Fang, and Perfect Little World. 

To give you an idea of what drew me in and kept me enthralled, here's a paragraph from Perfect Little World where a pregnant woman is musing about her child.
