具体描述
Kevin Wilson's characters inhabit a world that moves seamlessly between the real and the imagined, the mundane and the fantastic. "Grand Stand-In" is narrated by an employee of a Nuclear Family Supplemental Provider--a company that supplies "stand-ins" for families with deceased, ill, or just plain mean grandparents. And in "Blowing Up On the Spot," a young woman works sorting tiles at a Scrabble factory after her parents have spontaneously combusted. Southern gothic at its best, laced with humor and pathos, these wonderfully inventive stories explore the relationship between loss and death and the many ways we try to cope with both.

Funny, dark, strange characters, wacky plot. Not as mature as Family Fang but still full of life and imagination
看来还是怪异奇谲的想象力最对我的胃口 但是总觉得有些篇目的结局和篇幅不够匹配 也可能是短篇集，很难不去对比并看到风格上的重复

"Blowing Up On the Spot"，“The Museum of Whatnot”
Great read. Uncanny,imaginative.
