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. * Grove has published Frank Goldman since the very start of his career and he is a major house author for us. * Goldman's Say Her Name was reviewed on the front cover of the New York Times Book Review , and won the Prix Femina Etranger, selling nearly 50,000 copies. * His first novel, The Long
