Book excerpt: What is the path to the best life? Self denial? Self gratification?The Monk and the Drunk is an allegory of two men's struggles with the stifling lives they believe they were destined for. In its purest form, is a life of austerity & abstinence any more virtuous than one of gluttony & indulgence? Is the grass greener on the other side of the mountain? Can salvation be found in moderation? Author Alex Pop explores the timeless human struggle with ideological fatigue. He presents the reader with opportunities for genuine growth that only come when one deigns to roam in someone else's shoes.
