Kimberly's Capital Punishment

by Richard Milward - £9.99  Faber and Faber (2013)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780571288991 | ISBN 10: 0571288995

Kimberly Clark was born to the sound of cackling witches, Halloween 1984. After moving to London with her athletic boyfriend, the sweet-but-stuttering 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 embarks on an enthusiastic, but no less disastrous, foray into 'unadulterated altruism'. 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. Bring your own dice. Prepare to lose your marbles.
 
This is a shocking, laugh-out-loud, nightmare-and-nausea-inducing book; a wild narrative experiment that recalls taboo-busting writers from William Burroughs to Irvine Welsh to Chuck Palahniuk.
