The Stench of Honolulu

Expanding upon his tried-and-true short form of surrealistic bursts, Jack Handey crafts a full-length adventure tale with laugh-out-loud twists and unforgettable characters. A reliably unreliable narrator and his friend, a guy named Don, embark on a quest for the Golden Monkey, which takes them into the mysterious and stinky foreign land of Honolulu. There, they meet untold dangers, confront strange natives, and discover the ruins of ancient civilizations. As our narrator says, "The ruins were impressive. But like so many civilizations, they forgot the rule that might have saved them: Don't let vines grow all over you."
