The Neurodivergent Book Club’s focus is to discover what other neurodivergent minds see in the books they read. Our individual neurodiversity provides each of us a different view of the world around us. Let’s celebrate our different ways of looking at the world through books and build a neurodivergent community together.  

This month this book they are discussing is the short story collection: Baby, You’re Gonna Be Mine by Kevin Wilson.

Filled with imagination and humor, Baby, You’re Gonna Be Mine is an exuberant collection of captivating and charmingly bizarre stories that promise to burrow their way into your heart and soul.

“Wildfire Johnny” is the story of a man who discovers a magic razor that allows him to travel back in time. “Scroll Through the Weapons” is about a couple taking care of their underfed and almost feral nieces and nephews. “Signal to the Faithful” follows a boy as he takes a tense road trip with his priest. And “Baby, You’re Gonna Be Mine,” the title story, is about a narcissistic rock star who moves back home during a rough patch. These stories all build on each other in strange and remarkable ways, showcasing Wilson’s crackling wit and big heart.
