New World Monkeys, by Nancy Mauro

…”A man chooses a woman, selects her above all others, and takes her away to live in a box.  Then the man loses the ability to address her like a human being.  For reasons he cannot explain.  And the woman locks herself away in a smaller box within the larger box.  That they are in the same box is essential…”

This is one of many insightful quotes from Nancy Mauro’s New World Monkeys, a darkly funny, quirky and poignant look at one couple’s experience of life leading them away from their core selves and then back again.
