KIMBERLY’S CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Book ID/图书代码： 04560011B50946

English Summary/英文概要： Kimberly Clark was born to the sound of cackling witches in 1984. Having moved to London to follow her heart’s dream, the sweet-but-slow Stevie, she soon tires of him and decides to destroy the relationship from within by being as vile as is humanly possible.

When this tactic leads to Stevie’s violent death by his own hand, Kimberly’s soul hangs in the balance – will she ultimately spend eternity in the great Top Shop in the sky? Or will she be hurtled into an abyss of endless physical torture, sexual humiliation and bad stand-up comedy?

This is the story of Kimberly’s redemption, or possibly the story of her damnation: it’s up to you (there are six different endings on offer. Dice are provided).

’I can’t help but admire the way he monkeys about with form, his blackly comic ambition, and the sheer demented energy of his storytelling ... likeably off-beat.’ Edmund Gordon, Sunday Times

’Milward contemplates the Big Questions in a bittersweet paean to the UK capital in his own inimitable style and does so with his most impressive series of textual experiments, poetic flashes and lip-smacking imagery to date. His punchy, super-smart prose is driven by an irresistible energy and masterful flair.’ Camilla Pia, The List (five stars)

’Dark and surreal yarn ... Milward holds our attention with endearing characters and quirky storytelling techniques ... a deliciously playful, marvellously adventurous fuck-you of a novel; a confident and assured effort from one of the country’s most inventive young writers.’ David Clack, Time Out (Book of the Week)

’In his third novel Richard Milward once more lays bare his uncanny knack for distilling the Teesside mindset, language and sense of humour into sentences which amuse, provoke and disgust in equal measure ... as in Apples and Ten Story Love Song, Milward has produced a hilarious experimental novel which requires the reader to take a step back in order to appreciate the ultimately crushing poignancy of the world which he depicts.’ Philip Maughan, The Crack magazine
