Description

A 16th-century Chinese folktale reimagined for modern readers, Monkey is a profound allegory of spiritual transformation. This masterful retelling brings to life the adventures of a rogue-trickster and his encounters with a bizarre cast of characters as he travels in search of sacred scriptures.

Part adventure story, part historical epic, this beloved tale follows the journey of a Buddhist pilgrim and his unlikely companion as they navigate the complexities of faith, identity, and belonging. David Kherdian's nuanced interpretation brings depth and nuance to this timeless story.

A powerful exploration of the human condition, Monkey is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in spirituality, philosophy, or the richness of Asian literature.
