The Raving Eunuch Monks: Schopenhauer International Literary Award recipient

Gil McNeil wants to become a caring, sensitive, spiritual being. He wants a loving soul mate with whom to share life’s journey; to be surrounded by friends who trust and respect him. Gil wants to be an authentic human being living a meaningful, purposeful life. These wants constitute the mantra he feeds on. Gil McNeil is a liar. In the first installment of Glynn Thompson’s trilogy “The Raving Eunuch Monks” Gil moves from one deceitful moment to another finally arriving at an instant in which he briefly senses how dangerous he has been to those he cared about and just how much he did care for them. It is a profound instant, but short of an epiphany. Gil moves on, leaving Lubbock in an attempt to construct a fresh start. He leaves behind a failed marriage, an abandoned son, damaged friendships, and shattered souls. He carries with him a sense that he is not entirely to blame for the disaster that was Lubbock, a piece of baggage that will drive him into the dirt.
