Monkey Boy is written with tenderness and emotional precision. It tells what it means to be an American, to have an identity that is nourished by many sources, including ones that are mysterious and shrouded in secrecy. It is a story of two cities - Boston and Guatemala - and an account of a man's relationship with his mother, who is evoked here in sharp and loving detail. It is a book about how we piece the past together. Goldman bridges the gap between imagination and memory with stunning lyricism and unsparing clarity." -Colm Tóibín Francisco Goldman returns with a hugely ambitious and accomplished novel about growing up a bi-racial son of immigrants in a working class Boston suburb and a search for identity and love over the span of a lifetime. Auto-fictional in the spirit of early Philip Roth and Saul Bellow, Monkey Boy is an expansive and deeply insightful story of living outside the dominant culture in a conservative 50's America. Plunging into his relationships with family and loved ones, Monkey Boy weaves an intricate yet sprawling narrative about romance and redemption and is also a great love story.
