Felix Kloman

Felix Kloman now writes an occasional book review for us titled Reading Uncertainly?  Prior to his move to Massachusetts, he wrote a book review for LymeLine.com every month. He reviewed mostly non-fiction, a subject which explores our minds, our behavior, our politics and our history. But he threw in a novel here and there.

He is a sailor, rower, husband, father, grandfather, retired management consultant and, above all, a curious reader and writer. He has explored how we as human beings and organizations respond to ever-present uncertainty in two books, ‘Mumpsimus Revisited’ (2005) and ‘The Fantods of Risk’ (2008).

He lived in Lyme, Conn. for over 20 years and for more than 50 years, he put together the 17 syllables that comprise haiku, the traditional Japanese poetry. He served as the self-appointed “poet laureate” of Ashlawn Farm Coffee, where he was a regular visitor on Friday mornings.

His late wife, Ann, was also a writer, but of mystery novels, all of which begin in a village in midcoast Maine, strangely reminiscent of the town she and her husband visited every summer.
