monkey


currently reading Wu Ch'eng-En's Monkey. it's a tale filled with exciting characters and written with colourful 
prose which i fell in love with the instant i discovered it. i used to stay up late to watch the live action tv show 
on channel 4 and also quite enjoy Damon Albarn's Journey To The West soundtrack which accompanied the 
stage opera. however, i have no idea how the story actually ends. 

does priest Tripitaka reach India to deliver the holy scripts? does insolent monkey find redemption? what
becomes of the excessively lecherous Pigsy and the apathetic sea monster Sandy? i'd like to finally find out...
