Synopsis

In a helter-skelter world, it is nice to have a soothing voice. In this offbeat collection of clever, concise humor pieces, Matt Gordon provides an easy-going antidote to the hectic pace of life. Whether it is featuring the ludicrous nature of online communication, a surprise marital rollerblading misadventure, or the battle between the author and a local Walmart greeter, The Monkeys of God will challenge readers to slow down, to look around, and, mostly, to laugh. Recommended (by the author) for those who like the works of any of the following people: The Beatles; Leonardo da Vinci; Edgar Allan Poe; J.K. Rowling; David Sedaris; William Shakespeare; Jay Z and/or Beyonce; Stephen Spielberg; CS Lewis; Coldplay; Ernest Hemingway; Socrates, Plato, and the Gang; Dave Barry; Any Country Music Star Ever; Poets; any of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America; or any other really famous person--past or present--you happen to appreciate. If you like any of that, you'll love this.

À propos de l'auteur

Matt Gordon was born as a baby in a Missouri town he swore never to live in as an adult. Now an adult, Gordon resides in that very Missouri town and has taken to writing things down. He now takes these odd, written things, delicately Midwestern though they are, and smashes them together into humorous collections to be published in book form or on his blog (creatively titled themattgordon.com). Aside from writing essays and stories and other nonsense, Gordon works for a church and is a follower of Jesus Christ. He lives with his wife, hates dogs and other pets (though he has an affinity for badgers and beavers), and continues hoping someone will give him a whole bunch of money.
