Kenneth Radley

Kenneth Radley's Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking? A patchwork journey through my life... so far - is a richly layered, deeply personal memoir told in an engaging patchwork style - weaving together reflections from across six decades of an expansive life.

From his early life we are taken through some rapid development in the 1960s. Then the tectonic socio-cultural shifts throughout the 1970s. And later appearing in more than 30 feature films, performing as B1 in the highly successful and culturally iconic Bananas in Pyjamas, to selling wine, cab driving, fronting a hard-hitting rock band in the Melbourne pub scene, teaching, building houses, playing and umpiring Australian football and navigating family life within the creative industries - Radley crafts a collection of vivid vignettes that balance wit, philosophical inquiry, and grounded realism.

Readers interested in Australian cultural history, performance, and television and film will find rare, behind-the-scenes gems throughout. Anecdotes involving the Bananas years, working on set from an actor's perspective, creative struggles, the joy and passion in his work. The reader is treated to some fascinating encounters with industry characters that offer unique insights and deep reflections.

The regular moments of humour feel lived-in rather than performed, full of well-timed understatement and irony.

This work offers so much more than a timeline of events; it becomes a meditation on memory, cultural change, identity, work, and the intersections between art, family life and self-discovery.

It is a fascinating, authentic and heartfelt piece reflecting the complexity, fun and humour of a man that is truly thankful for his life and filled with genuine love and appreciation of those close to him.

it is quite a journey... so far.
