AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"TRIALS OF THE MONKEY: AN ACCIDENTAL MEMOIR is just that, accidental. Perhaps because he actually missed the Scopes reenactment that was supposed to be the story's hub, Chapman ends up turning inward. He's written a book that's part family history, part travel essay, part personal religious commentary. And while TRIALS OF THE MONKEY is too quirky and personal to satisfy scholars on either side of the scientific and religious divide, the book still makes sense. With keen observation, self-deprecating humor and a confessional style that boils away the sentimental fat, Chapman has managed to create an unconventional memoir of the collision between his weighty legacy and his quixotic life."Chapman, Matthew is the author of 'Trials of the Monkey An Accidental Memoir', published 2002 under ISBN 9780312300784 and ISBN 0312300786.
