Matthew Stokoe's new book Empty Mile is, in a word, breathtaking. It's true that fans of Cows and High Life may be disappointed at the relative lack of explicit violence (if you thought that's what those books were really about you've missed the point) but the new novel's rich psychological landscape makes it a far more mature and complex book than either of the other two. Empty Mile is a meditation on guilt, on the desire we all have to change the past, on all the wrongs we'd like to put right. As such it strikes a chord with anyone who has lived any sort of a life. The writing itself is beautifully put together. This is no surprise to anyone who's read High Life, what is surprising, though, is the depth of feeling Stokoe shows for his characters. They are all real people, all with real flaws - from the brain-damaged brother to the beaten-down girl friend we recognize these people - we've seen them on street corners, in bars, at the desk next to us at work - they are people people who have suffered and who've cracked under that suffering. The book's plot is intricate and nicely noir-ish and alone would made an excellent read, but the emotional interplay between the characters is what really gives this novel its strength - I read the book in three sittings and by the end of the virtuoso finale I was in tears - literally. If you want brainless sex and violence avoid this book. If you want to read something that will stay with you long after you turn the last page, something that that will reach deep inside you and address one of the most human of themes get a copy while there are still some left.
