Killing Richard Dawson - top review in Australian Literary Review

4th August 2010

I was grinning from the first lines

In Killing Richard Dawson, Robin Bakers narrator is so unpretentiously sincere about his desperation to avoid pain that I was grinning from the first lines... The pleasure of the novel is its darkly hilarious knack for capturing the lethargic insights of Gen Y, in a voice that Baker claims was an antidote to the teen television series Dawsons Creek. Bakers biggest fans will probably belong to the same generation, but anyone who enjoys the deadpan honesty of a smart teenager would be won over.
