Abstract
Auseon likens getting to know his characters to a rowdy party to which the “weirdos off the street” have been invited. He comes to believe they’re real and then spills them onto a page so we can get to know them, as well. Many boys will identify with Auseon’s insecure and awkward protagonist in Funny Little Monkey, an excerpt of which follows the essay.
