The Old Man and The
Monkey is about a village elder in Japan and the large monkey who became his
friend over the last five years of his life. Since the villagers don't like
monkeys, none of them approve of the friendship between the old man Genjiro
Yamada and Yukitaro ("snow monkey" in Japanese).
But Genjiro refuses to
give up the friendship, even when his wife objects to it. After all, monkeys
are nuisances and thieves. But over time, both Genjiro’s wife and the villagers
come to grudgingly accept him, especially when, on several occasions, they
receive a special blessing from him.
'The Old Man & The Monkey' is a stunningly beautiful story of a relationship which develops between an old man and a creature which is regarded as a dangerous pest in Japan, a snow monkey, in George Polley's moving allegory of dignity in the face of prejudice and racism.
About the Author:
George Polley was born
in Santa Barbara, California and raised in Seattle, Washington. He has lived in
California (Berkeley and Stockton), Illinois (Cooks Mills and Villa
Grove), Minnesota (Luverne, Marshal and Minneapolis), and from 1984 until early
in 2008, in Seattle, when he and his wife moved to Sapporo, Japan so that she
could fulfill her dream of returning to the land of her birth.
His work has appeared in the South Dakota Review, Crow's Nest, Expanding Horizons, The Enchanted Self, Community Mental Health Journal, Maturing, The Lyon County (Minnesota) Review Wine Rings, North Country Anvil, North American Mentor Magazine, the McLean County (Illinois) Poetry Review, River Bottom, Tower Talks and Foundations.
He has also authored several booklets in the mental health field, two of them co-authored with Ana Dvoredsky, M.D. in 2007.
George's e-book 'The Old Man & The Monkey' poses one of the most elegant and powerful arguments against racism of all time, and his 'Grandfather & The Raven' argues equally compellingly against violence in all its forms.
