But with this book I think it was so bizarre that they just didn’t worry about it.”,“I hesitate to say that I’m a fan of performance art because I know so little of it.
You would be wrong. ...If I said, "I have this darkness inside of me," it might destroy the wonderful life that we had all built together — I would be the reason that it started to become complicated, that my agitation would cause anxiety for them.
It seemed entirely possible. Ever since childhood, author Kevin Wilson has lived with disturbing images that flash through his mind without warning. You don't know what's the tipping point. It’s a magic trick. “My parents didn’t really understand what I wanted to do when I wanted to write, but they were always supportive.
If I'm near heights I see somebody or me falling off and I can see the impact and then I'd jump out of it. And then as I got older and became a teenager and my anxiety kind of became more understandable, I kind of wanted to burst into flames, like that would burn out all the anxiety inside of me and I'd be kind of clean.
You could easily imagine that with all the hilarious—and, well, less than hilarious—antics of his fabulous fictional family Fang, Kevin Wilson might have some serious family issues of his own. And a lot of times I can't predict when it will happen. But when I was in junior high or high school, I read about this guy who had someone shoot him for a performance piece, for an art piece!
That’s a wonderful thing.
And so a lot of the work that I'm doing is just keeping it in there. "Falling off of tall buildings, getting stabbed, catching on fire — they were these just quick, kind of violent bursts in my head. And there's a moment where there's this kind of panic internally, because it's come back or I see it clearly and then it flashes, it goes away.
They build you up, and the second step after they make you is that you unmake that and become your own person. You would be wrong.“I have incredible parents and I have a sister with whom I am very close,” Wilson says during a call to the “little cabin” in Sewanee, Tennessee, where he lives with his wife Leigh Anne, a poet, and their three-year-old son. ".Not that Wilson would ever harm anyone else — the harm in these quick, intrusive thoughts was strictly internal. His new novel,"Writing is, I think, the thing that saved me — being able to transfer what was in my head onto the page," he says. They loved me and still love me, but when you're a kid you're not certain. We were just always with each other. Kevin Wilson is the author of Perfect Little World, The Family Fang, and Tunneling to the Center of the Earth. He starts with a goofy premise and then draws deep emotional truths. Wilson, who recently turned 33, is the author of an award-winning story collection,Wilson’s parents live just a 20-minute drive down Monteagle mountain, where his father—whom he describes as “the most capable person” he’s ever known—sells insurance. The characters of Camille and Caleb are so divorced from them that it was pretty much impossible for them to mistakenly read themselves into them,” Wilson says. I was just so taken with the idea that art can bleed into the spaces where art is not supposed to enter.”.In this case, Wilson’s performance art pieces allow him to enter the deeply complicated spaces of family relationships.“The thing that I most care about in writing is the ways in which we’re bound to these people who for all intents and purposes create you.
