"It used to impress new girlfriends when I told them I had paintings in the rooms of the Tate Gallery but they seemed a bit put out when they learned it was the actual walls." —Raymond Kilworth, Essex Decorator and House Painter.
In the 1970s, a certain young writer had to supplement his income by doing part-time work for his brother, who had a painting firm maintaining public houses in the Angel Islington area of London. The work was not difficult but the life of a painter was interesting. Jerusalem Road is a fictionalised version of that life and the time in which it was set.
"His characters are strong and the sense of place he creates is immediate." —Sunday Times on In Solitary
"Kilworth is a master of his trade." —Punch Magazine
"A convincing display of fine talent." —The Times on A Theatre Of Timesmiths
