In his powerful new novel, Kalooki, author William J. Phoenix delivers a raw and redemptive story of addiction, resilience, and personal transformation. Behind this striking work lies a deeply personal journey, one that the author acknowledges with heartfelt gratitude in the book’s opening pages.
Set in London during the turbulent summer of 2005, Kalooki tells the story of Lenny Bell, a man haunted by trauma, violence and alcoholism. From the shadow of the 7/7 attacks to the everyday struggles of East London life, Phoenix delivers a vivid and unflinching portrayal of a man fighting to reclaim himself.
Structured in four parts, Fear and Deliverance, Bright Lights and Blackouts, Victory and Surrender and Triumph from Adversity, Kalooki takes the reader on a journey through darkness and back into the light. It is a raw and honest depiction of addiction and the long road to redemption, told with warmth, humour and humanity.
Although fictional, Kalooki is inspired by Phoenix’s own experiences of addiction and recovery, lending the story its emotional authenticity. The novel’s grounding in real-life struggle and healing gives it a resonance that will speak to readers from all walks of life.
The book also carries a sense of gratitude that mirrors the author’s own journey. Phoenix acknowledges the support of Alcoholics Anonymous, friends from the Harley Owners Group, and those who encouraged him to keep writing when the story was still in its early stages.
Kalooki is not simply a story about addiction. It is a story about survival, forgiveness and the resilience of the human heart.
Kalooki is available now in print and digital formats.
