Recenzii
"Essentially Beach takes away the main thing thats made Bond films international hits for five decades the vicarious jolt of escapist adventure they provide for our ho-hum lives. So how does Bond cope with this smothering dose of reality? Readers will have to peruse The Last Temptation of Bond, an imaginative pastiche of poetry, prose and playwriting, to see whether the one-time spy gets his action-packed life back." - Lana Michelin, Red Deer Advocate, March 15, 2013
"[Kimmy Beach] has a tremendous skill at drawing readers into whatever world she is creating we see the characters, we hear them and our senses are starkly aware of their surroundings. Readers truly feel close to whats going on. Honestly, there is little that can compare with her boldness as an author and creativity as an artist. Each word feels like it has been carefully chosen, but at the same time the text clips along with a completely natural feel." - Mark Weber, Red Deer Express, April 10, 2013
"The poets fifth collection is an exploration of [James Bonds] essence, the alchemical composition of his fictional (and physical) allure. The Last Temptation of Bond, however, is far more than an erotic exploration of a beloved character; it is also an examination of the limits of that character, the points at which Bond might become fractured and undone. Beach explores Bond at his most vulnerable, at moments of self-doubt, loathing, failure, and fear (the same way Scorsese treats Christ in the film alluded to in the collections title). Beach is no stranger to exploring seductive pop-culture figures in her poetry.... She handles Bond even more intimately, wriggling her fingers into the fault lines of his psyche and gleefully ripping." Natalie Zina Walschots, Quill & Quire [Full review at http://bit.ly/17ndxbx]
"As a publication within U of A Presss Robert Kroetsch poetry series, the books freedom of movement among genres and voices honours Kroetsch, who would have appreciated both the elevation and the reduction (but not the demise, Bond is eternal) of the cultural hero. The cover (Robert Contes post-coital angel) is stunning.... From the start, through highly detailed second-person, as well as third-person prose, Beach pulls her readers into the world of Bond and his women.... The power of this book is its confident enjoyment within fictional and imaginative realities.... The book calculatedly engages its readers on an experiential level and demands readers responses not only to its content but to the ways the content is delivered. Its light touch is always tongue in cheek..." Cornelia Hoogland, The Coastal Spectator, June 29, 2013 [Full review at http://coastalspectator.ca/]
#2 on the Calgary Herald's Bestsellers list (Fiction) for the week of June 29, 2013
"Red Deer's Kimmy Beach offers her best book yet in The Last Temptation of Bond. In something resembling an experimental thriller/romance novel, Beach's long poem satirizes the pop-culture figure of James Bond. The Last Temptation of Bond is smarter, funnier, sexier and perhaps even more plausible than any Bond film." Jonathan Ball, Winnipeg Free Press, July 27, 2013 [Full article at http://bit.ly/1btKwg0]
Quill & Quire asked readers to submit their favourite Canadian titles of 2013, and while the results featured a breadth of authors and publishers, some clear winners stood out, such as The Last Temptation of Bond! http://bit.ly/1jpH8Xj
In this cheeky collection of modern poetry, Kimmy Beach steps into the life of James Bond and tums things completely upside down. Agent 007 attempts to stride through these poems with his usual swagger but the fact is he's not a young man anymore. He's tired of his life. He smokes too much, drinks too much and, oddly, he also watches his own DVDs. Meanwhile behind the scenes, serious danger lurks. A cast of loved-and-left Bond girls are moving in for the kill. [O]ne of l0 shortlisted titles for the Alberta Readers' Choice Awards, it's a smart, sexy romp through pop culture. Steve Gold, The Sherwood Park-Strathcona County News, April 22, 2014
