The legendary Deep Thoughts and New Yorker writer Jack Handey emerges with his very first novel-a hilarious, absurd, far-flung adventure tale-now in paperback. The legendary Deep Thoughts and New Yorker writer Jack Handey emerges with his very first novel--a hilarious, absurd, far-flung adventure tale. Handey's exotic tale is full of laugh-out-loud twists and unforgettable characters whose names escape me right now. A reliably unreliable narrator and his friend need to get out of town. They have a taste for adventure, so they pay a visit to a relic of bygone days-a travel agent-and discover an old treasure map. Our heroes soon embark on a quest for the Golden Monkey, which takes them into the mysterious and stinky foreign land of Honolulu. There, they meet untold dangers, confront strange natives, and discover the ruins of ancient civilizations. As our narrator says, "The ruins were impressive. But like so many civilizations, they forgot the rule that might have saved them: Don't let vines grow all over you."
