Consequently, it can be argued that the novel also includes features that are typical of thrillers.

In addition, ‘violence and brutality are also predominant and the protagonist’s effort to dump the body is ’ (Mädl, 5). On the other hand, black humour may have a cathartic function in the sense that laughing about serious topics can ease problems and worries of life.

This sort of humour may sometimes even be regarded as tasteless because ‘ does not recoil from taboos either’ (Mädl, 33). I’d already killed the last guy who came to buy the car, I didn’t want to get aggressive with this one or the police might spot a trend. Getting Rid of Mister Kitchen also contains a lot of black humour or black comedy, in the sense that topics usually treated seriously are handled in a satirical manner. Besides, ‘the exaggeration of the protagonist’s actions and his highly improbable drug abuse are typical features of a farce’ (Oppolzer, 74). The farcical quality is mainly obtained from the novel’s story line that jumps in fast-paced action from one to the next rather unlikely (and even absurd) situation. On the whole, the genre of the book can be best described as a farce that blends surrealistic elements with slapstick comedy. Humour and comedy have always played a central role in Charles Higson’s work, noticeably shape his novels and are vital elements of Getting Rid of Mister Kitchen as well. Most recently Charles Higson is working on and starring in the sitcom and Fast Show spin-off Swiss Toni on BBC Three.

The Author and General Aspects of the Novel On the whole, this essay will encourage different approaches to answer the underlying question of this essay, namely whether Charles Higson’s novel Getting Rid of Mister Kitchen features a dead narrator. All these interpretations will be based on evidence from and related to the text itself. In the second part of this essay some readings that either support or oppose the fact that the story is told by a dead or dying narrator are specified. The first part presents a general overview of the novel’s narrative techniques and particularly focuses on characterisation in the novel and on the reliability of the narrator. Thus, this paper is basically divided into two main parts. Since the topic of this paper is narratological in its character and since there is an obvious relation between the subject-matter of this essay and the novel’s narrative situation, this is of crucial importance to fully grasp the issue and to discuss it comprehensively. This problem will be discussed by means of relating it to and embedding it into a general analysis and description of the novel’s narrative techniques. The main aim of this paper is, therefore, to examine whether the story is or can be told by a dead narrator. However, these matters basically revolve around the central question whether the protagonist dies or stays alive at or after, respectively, the end of the novel. In addition, the reader not only never gets to know the narrator’s name, but he/she also does not know his motivation for telling the story. It is this ending of the novel that raises the most challenging question since the protagonist’s further fate is up to the respective reader’s interpretation. Finally, all of the protagonist’s bad luck combined with his inability to a make plans that work literally lead to his downfall. Whenever the protagonist seems to get one step closer to dispose of Mister Kitchen, he is thrown back at least two steps due to a consistent unfortunate concatenation of events. In the course of the text the anti-hero then desperately tries to get rid of the (more or less) dead body, a task that becomes both his destiny and burden. In the first chapter of the book the protagonist or anti-hero of the novel, who is telling the story at the same time, stabs Mister Kitchen with a candlestick during a quarrel they have while Mister Kitchen is visiting the protagonist to buy his car. The plot of Charles Higson’s novel Getting Rid of Mister Kitchen published in 1996 is fairly straightforward.
