TUNNELING TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH

by Kevin Wilson

This collection of short stories was perfect for my short attention span during lockdown recently. The stories are by turn playful, imaginative and outrageous, but are also always gentle and insightful. Kevin Wilson’s book coaxes one to view life through different lenses (grandparents for hire, double spontaneous combustion?) revealing the otherwise hidden cracks in humanity. The short story format will allow you to dip in and out of his world as the need warrants.
