by Anne Stameshkin. Michael S.A. Graziano’s novel The Love Song of Monkey (Leapfrog Press, ) is a darkly comic yet irrepressibly hopeful story that disturbs as it charms; this novel may be slim in size, but like Dr. Who’s TARDIS, it’s dimensionally transcendental. In this darkly inventive second work of fiction, Graziano (The Love Song of Monkey) deposits his protagonist among the despairing crowds of an institutional hell. At first, the narrator, a thin man known as Sage, shares a tiny, dank cell with a woman and man, Rose and Henry Greene, so-called because of the color of their voices. Graziano applied the stimulation for half a second each time, on a behaviorally relevant time scale, in order to match the typical duration of a monkey's reaching and grasping. The longer stimulation train in Graziano's experiments evoked complex movements that included many joints and that resembled movements from the animal's behavioral repertoire.
