Ken Heather
These Foolish Things is a poetic, deeply introspective journey through the mind and memories of a man confronting the weight of his past and the uncertainties of his future. Told through the candid reflections of Keith - a university lecturer, music lover, and romantic - this novel blurs the line between fiction and memoir in a series of vivid vignettes that explore love, loss, identity, and the strange absurdities of academic life.With dry wit and emotional honesty, Ken Heather invites readers into a world rich with nostalgia and existential musing. From tangled relationships to the quiet melancholy of middle age, Keith Stokes navigates the passage of time with a blend of charm, self-deprecation, and lyrical insight.Unapologetically human and unapologetically flawed, These Foolish Things is a novel for anyone who has ever lingered in memory, questioned their place in the world, or found solace in a familiar song. Perfect for fans of introspective literary fiction, this is a book that resonates long after the final page.
