Monkey Temple

Monkey Temple is a coming-of-old-age adventure about two longtime best friends and rivals who determined to not go gentle into that good night set off on a final road trip. Their efforts to face past failures and give meaning to their dwindling futures change their lives forever but not at all as they had envisioned. Its a buddy story with strong female characters and plenty of dark humor.Peter Gelfans Monkey Temple is a rollicking journey down a winding road to a dubious paradise. I took a lot of pleasure in it. So familiar the riffs and issues and experiences and characters-talkin bout my generation-and I reveled in so many of the choices the author made in rendering them. Rich in insight and humor it is in the end a story about stories themselves. - Tony Cohan bestselling author of On Mexican Time
