Product Description In his new novel, Fools, upandcoming author Kol explores the depths of life's greatest mysteries in the light of the experiences of young people teetering on the brink of enlightenment or selfdestruction.James, Bami and Ana, students in Savannah, Ga, grapple with the meaninglessness of existence by using their own vitriolic mixtures of intuition, rebellious foolishness and romantic desire. But the story is much more than a chronicle of their pursuit of happiness or their attempts to break away from society's restrictions. Key to the novel's firepower is the diverse angles by which it can be explored. On one layer, it is a tale of teenagers confronted with the perennial need for purpose, and on another, it is an incisive exploration of some of humankind's most enduring dilemmasthe existence of God, the essence of truth, the meaning of life, and the slow but certain decay of society's collective imagination.Announcing the arrival of a searing and innovative voice, Fools is a mindbending odyssey deep into the heart of the human condition. It is at once bleak and beautiful, unsettling and captivating, and, ultimately, the kind of exquisite literature that clings to the reader's consciousness even after the last page has been turned. Review 'An ambitious, intelligent novel in which trust and truth seem to become lost in the very quest for the same. The dialogue is smart and provocative; the characters, complex and flawed.This a firstrate effort, likely to be enjoyed by literary readers of all ages.' Blueink Review From the Author 'All anyone wants is to be read like a pageturneropened, flipped through, enjoyed. People want to be connected with, used, loved, if only privately by an exclusive person or set of people. We want to be read like books because we write ourselves like books; narratives of character, theme, plot. And we read ourselves, too, what we've written in our minds.''It's scary,' says Ana; her brow coldly sweats.'Imagine it's a dreamscape,' I say, squinching. 'The trees are sleepwalkers. They sway and breathe. Their canopies are the umbragical skulls of scatterbrained giants.'
