Killing Richard Dawson

Robin Baker
View description

‘The phone rings. It’s Jesus. I listen to him speak and then hang up…’

In this darkly comic, slow-burn thriller, reality is blurred… and nothing can be taken for granted.

A gripping and poignant black comedy about love, friendship, booze, morality, death and a generation’s casual dissatisfaction with modern life. Sometimes, redemption lies in the darkest of places.

‘You don’t need to die to destroy yourself.’

Killing Richard Dawson is a brilliant fast-paced story with a shocking twist. It cleverly traverses the inner and outer worlds of the university student protagonist with wit and humour as he navigates his way through the minefields of loss, friendship and unrequited love.

Death is the only constant in his life, yet Robin Baker portrays it with an irreverence echoing Evelyn Waugh’s classic satire.
