K. R. Wilson's debut novel An Idea About My Dead Uncle won the inaugural Guernica Prize for unpublished manuscript in 2018 and was published in 2019.
His novel Call Me Stan: A Tragedy in Three Millennia was published in 2021. Giller Prize winner Sean Michaels says, "Call Me Stan is a ludicrous epic and a tender-hearted romp—an easy-reading humanist adventure that feels as if Monty Python rewrote Virginia Woolf's Orlando.” Call Me Stan was long-listed for the Leacock Medal for Literary Humour. A follow-up, Stan On Guard, will be released on March 1, 2026.
