Monkey by David Kherdian
Part spiritual pilgrimage, part historical epic, the folk novel Journey to the West , which came to be known as Monkey, is the most popular classic of Asian literature. Originally written in the sixteenth century, it is the story of the adventures of the rogue-trickster Monkey and his encounters with a bizarre cast of characters as he travels to India with the Buddhist pilgrim Tripitaka in search of sacred scriptures. Much more than a picaresque adventure novel, Monkey is a profound allegory of the struggle that must occur before spiritual transformation is possible. David Kherdian's masterful telling brings this classic of Chinese literature to life in a way that is true to the scope and depth of the original.David Kherdian is a poet, fiction writer, and nonfiction writer who has published over 30 books. He has earned the Newbery Honor Book Award, the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award, the Jane Addams Peace Award, and the Friends of American Authors Award for his novel The Journey From Home, which was nominated for the National Book Award. He resides in the state of California.
