Writing of Francis King’s 1961 novel about contemporary Japan, The Custom House, Penelope Mortimer praised its ‘ferocious perception’. That widely-acclaimed book gave a view of the country which, in its revelation of the violence and brutality always present under a surface veneer of politeness and prettiness, was bound to shock and annoy many Japanophiles. This collection of short-stories, written in the two-year period following on the publication of The Custom House, shows that same penetrating insight into a civilisation in which politeness so often must do service for morality, but is at once blander and more affectionate in its approach. Francis King, who detested Japan when he first arrived there, left it five years later with regret and sadness; he himself became a Japanophile. These stories show his talents in all their richness: acid and unsparing to his fellow westerners in ‘A Sentimental Education’ or ‘The Collectors’; dramatic in his handling of the clash between foreigner and Japanese in ‘The Crack’ or ‘The Festival of the Dead’; humorously ironic in ‘A Corner of a Foreign Field’; macabre in ‘The Puppets’. Taken together the stories provide a picture of a country that is both remarkable in both extent and depth, and guarantee for the reader, like all Francis King’s books, a compelling readability.

This debut collection by Yeo Wei Wei explores the realms between private selves, past and present, through vivid and haunting motifs—a singing bird, a lost soul in a yellow umbrella, an ivory carving, the diary of an ex-boyfriend's father. Revealing the regrets, obsessions, loss and sorrow of events in everyday life, These Foolish Things &Other Stories is a compelling piece of work ready to haunt, delight and touch its readers. A wife returns home to find that her husband has remarried ... An old woman in a nursing home is visited by a mynah that sings a Beatles song ... An artist remembers the time he was harangued by rambutans, magoes and other fruits in his studio ... “No word is out of place in Yeo Wei Wei’s exacting prose. The reader’s expectations and positions of empathy are put to the test in ways that both delight and shatter the heart.” -Cyril Wong, author of Tilting Our Plates to Catch the Light and The Dictator's Eyebrow “Yeo Wei Wei weaves a purgatorial web of men and women caught between guilt, loss and unbearable longing. Her stories are intelligent, haunting, carefully composed yet deeply felt.” -Clarissa Oon, arts editor, The Straits Times “Yeo Wei Wei is set on uncovering whole realms between private past and present and between private selves; in the process, she justifies the incidence of art. Let each tale here walk your mind as though it were a painting -Gwee Li Sui, literary critic, graphic artist and author of One Thousand and One Nights: Love Poems
