About the Book

"You" travel to Southeast Asia in search of your girlfriend who is having bouts of smuttiness. You want to rescue her and re-unite with her. Chiaia makes the dialogue sizzle in this tale of travel and love that contains fragmented tales of travel and love. Before you find her you're going to find out things normally reserved for monks only. Words: 6,330. "For Monks Only" is in the uncharted banana republic between the well-traveled countries of Short Story and Novella. Praise: "Chiaia is a unique, trip-hoppy, visionary of language" --Lo Galluccio, author "My fucking god this is brilliant. That sounds so banal. I suck at blurbs. Fuck! "This love story drew me in immediately with its detailed viscera. I trust this voice because it reeks with reality. Life really fucking lived, love really fucking felt. Singular and vital and never boring." --Misti Rainwater-Lites (review from goodreads.com) Author's Note: This is my version of Soul Mountain, the magnum opus from the great Gao Xianjiang. This is my version of Eat, Pray, Love. This is my first released fiction on Amazon. This is my story and the story of other expats, travelers, and adventurers. I have been traveling in Asia for years and it's about time I put some of that experience down. Also, I have had my share of success and failure with women and thought that it was time to explore that earnestly. I tried to write a fiction and a travelogue.
About the Author: Ralph-Michael Chiaia has a cat with severe mental problems who won't eat unless someone pets her the entire time. Thus, he has taken spoiling to new levels. While not petting his cat Aura, he spends his time running a bar in Seoul where he plays a ton of pool and smokes two packs of Marlboro Reds a day (although he's trying to switch to eCigs -- the horror! the horror!), writing, and playing with his 3-year-old son. Ralph has a few other books out on Kindle and in paperpack. The Sacred Calendar (RiceSpitting Productions 2014), Glyphic (Coatlism Press 2014) which was a finalist in the Cervena Barva Awards and a finalist in the Elixir Press Awards, and Ten Poems about East Asia (Coatlism Press 2014). He is currently working on a memoir about bar life which will be sure to offend many people who have come to the bar.
