Resumen del Editor
Henry Monkosky is an ingenious monkey who lives in New York City. He is adorably short, fat and clumsy. Innocence is his middle name.
For Henry, life is beautiful and savory. That's all he knows and cares about!
What he doesn't know is that the survival and the very existence of New York City depend on him. Something ominous and dark is brewing in its underground. Will he be able to save the doomed city?
In this highly entertaining season one we follow his daredevil routine, as he gracefully manages to fall in love, run the dysfunctional New York Department of Complaints, befriend the Devil, pass the “Junior Great Monkey Exam” on top of the Chrysler building, discover the door to a menacing subterranean world and explore with his unicycle unknown corners of Manhattan, his beloved concrete jungle.
As Henry himself would put it: piece of cake! Multi(trouble)tasking.
The Easy Life of Henry Monkosky is a hilarious, high-octane adventure in jazz, food, rock and roll, humanity, mystery, and love. It's an ode to life and New York City.
Join Monkosky’s world in this thrilling rollercoaster, season 1.

Historia
Mizuki is a Japanese housewife. She has a hardworking husband, two adorable children, and a beautiful Tokyo apartment. It’s everything a woman could want, yet sometimes she wonders whether she would rather throw herself off the high-rise balcony than spend another evening not talking to her husband and hanging up laundry.

Historia
Once upon a time (right about now) there was a planet (how about this one?) whose inhabitants consumed 36 billion gallons of beer each year (it's a fact, you can Google it). Among those affected, each in his or her own way, by all the bubbles, burps, and foam, was a smart, wide-eyed, adventurous kindergartner named Gracie; her distracted mommy; her insensitive dad; her non-conformist uncle; and a magical, butt-kicking intruder from a world within our world.

Historia
Trina FastHorse Goldberg-Oneka is a fifty-year-old trans woman whose life is irreversibly altered in the wake of a gentle--but nonetheless world-changing--invasion by an alien entity called The Seep. Through The Seep, everything is connected. Capitalism falls, hierarchies and barriers are broken down; if something can be imagined, it is possible. Trina and her wife, Deeba, live blissfully under The Seep’s utopian influence--until Deeba begins to imagine what it might be like to be reborn as a baby, which will give her the chance at an even better life.

Historia
There's something eerily unsettling about Ottessa Moshfegh's stories, something almost dangerous, while also being delightful and even laugh-out-loud funny. Her characters are all unsteady on their feet in one way or another; they all yearn for connection and betterment, though each in very different ways, but they are often tripped up by their own baser impulses and existential insecurities.

Historia
Saguaro chronicles the life of rock legend Bobby Bird as he finds himself rolled up in barbiturates, at sea with satanic cults, finding true love, selling out, and coming back. Bird may be many things - a legend in pink cotton, a living history in tattoos, the very embodiment of rock and roll - but he isn’t a bad man. At least not all the time. He made his name as a crooner, revered as a singer with soul, a soul he quickly sold without ever considering the implications.

Historia
The trip of a lifetime! Rosie Lewis has her life together. A swanky job as a Michelin-starred sous chef, a loving husband and future children scheduled for exactly January 2021. That’s until she comes home one day to find her husband’s prepacked bag and a confession that he's had an affair. Heartbroken and devastated, Rosie drowns her sorrows in a glass (or three) of wine, only to discover the following morning that she has spontaneously invested in a bright pink campervan to facilitate her grand plans to travel the country.

Historia
In 1965 Manhattan, patrons flock to Masha’s to savor its brisket bourguignon and impeccable service and to admire its dashing owner and head chef Peter Rashkin, the most eligible bachelor in town. But Peter does not care for the parade of eligible women who come to the restaurant hoping to catch his eye. Running Masha’s consumes him, as does his terrible guilt over surviving the horrors of the Nazi death camp while his wife, Masha - the restaurant’s namesake - and two young daughters perished. Then exquisitely beautiful June Bouquet, an up-and-coming young model, appears at the restaurant, piercing Peter’s guard.

Life in Pieces
The Easy Life of Henry Monkosky is a very interesting audiobook. It follows the life of a monkey. The world at large seems to pay no mind that this monkey can talk, has a pig friend named bacon and works at the local complaint office.
First, Michel Young delivers a great performance. I really enjoyed that, as the story is told from the first person perspective, he gave Henry Monkosky an original voice you can enjoy throughout. He captures the feel of the character wonderfully, as he does with the uniquely voiced other characters throughout the book. I dare say this is probably the best narration I've heard from Young so far (yes, even more than the production of a certain imaginary tale he has produced) due to his versatility and consistently delivering the characters' voices from beginning to end.
As far as the story goes, well, I wouldn't exactly call it a story, story. Though there is a subtle love story woven throughout the chapters, (which, honestly felt a little awkward given the circumstances) it's more a series of small stories and interactions with the main character, Henry Monkosky. Kind of like how Forrest Gump is a series of events rather than a straight narrative. And that's fine by me. I like it overall.
There were a few things I didn't care for in the book, particularly a couple of the middle chapters. They become quite vulgar, even with the innocent and loving voice of Henry Monkosky saying them. Being the prude that I am, I had to skip past those things that I shan't not relate. Honestly, those chapters felt so out of place with the rest of the audiobook, I think it would be better if they were removed from it completely.
Overall, I really liked The Easy Life of Henry Monkosky. Young's superb narration lifts the interesting story to another level and I'm sure many would enjoy it.
