| Summary |
Wildly imaginative in the manner of new weirdness fiction (see Feeling Very Strange, 2006), Wilson's work is also warmly compassionate in tenor. He creates an appealing voice for each first-person narrator he invents, and in third person, he is flat-out magisterial, with more than a hint of the magical. Watch him closely. |
