\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\"Neuroscientist and author Graziano has crafted a compelling fantasy based on a semi-plausible \u0026ldquo;what if.\u0026rdquo; Imaginative, intelligent narrative\u0026hellip;Twin ideas of forgiveness and mercy twist through this strange, moving, patiently wrought novel, making for a trippy but charming read.\u0026rdquo;\u0026ndash;\u003cI\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c/I\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026ldquo;An hilarious, dark, brittle take on post-modern medicine, love triangles, the dense emptiness of contemporary life, and the power of contemplative self-discovery. Part magic realism, part science fiction, part theater of the absurd, and part over-the-top, unrepentant spoof, this novel packs more into its few short pages than do most epic trilogies. Graziano has fabricated the rare kind of tale that the reader can honestly say ends much too quickly. Perfectly woven, self-enclosed, multifaceted . . .

It is difficult to fathom that a novel so brief can be so epic in scope. Inventive and deftly crafted, \u003cI\u003eThe Love Song of Monkey\u003c/I\u003e is a tale no reader will soon forget.\u0026rdquo;\u0026mdash;Eric Linder, Yellow Umbrella Books, Chatham, Massachusetts\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a surreal exile on the floor of the Atlantic, a young man faces his own death and his wife\u0026rsquo;s infidelity. \u003cI\u003eThe Love Song of Monkey\u003c/I\u003e is a meditation on the simple, inexplicable, and lasting power of love, cast in the metaphor of a journey to the depths of the ocean floor. Precise and beautifully crafted, this modern fable is rich with humor and deep thought.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cB\u003eMichael S. A.
