Of his work, Kilroy writes:

My writing feeds off the encounter. I am a flâneur, walking through my dreams, looking for chairs in alleys, interrogating storefronts. I am a radio receiving transmissions. I am a city writing books. My stories center around absurd juxtapositions, walking, gentrification, appropriation, power, artists, the American city at the turn of the 21^st century.
