Jack Handey recently wrote the hilarious fiction novel, The Stench of Honolulu. Handey takes everything that tourists love about Hawaiian islands and turns it into a wretched piece of space on the map.
The Hawaii that filmgoers saw in the Oscar-nominated film, The Descendants, or the action drama series, Hawaii 5-0, is not the Hawaii depicted in Handey's novel. It's the same Hawaii but through the warped mind of Handey.
The novel is a rather quick read due to Handey's signature short-form absurdist style. He takes us on a far-flung adventure that is full of twists and turns when you least expect them. The characters are unforgettable, too.
Don goes on a quest to find the Golden Monkey in Hawaii. What happens there is all the hilarity that ensues. Page after page will be turned quickly and you'll be finished in no time!
Handey's first novel leaves readers wanting more from the longtime humorist known for his "Deep Thoughts" on Saturday Night Live.
Readers of Lunatics by Alan Zweibel and Dave Barry will find this book just as funny.
