Summary of Dave Eggers' The Monk of Mokha

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Mokhtar was a man of action and purpose. He had finally saved enough money to enroll at City College of San Francisco, and he was ready to start law school in the fall. He thought about what it would be like to have a law degree, and eventually run for office.

#2 Mokhtar lost the satchel containing the three thousand dollars and his new eleven-hundred-dollar laptop at midnight, in the parking lot of the Santa Clara mosque. He couldn’t tell anyone about it, as he was fundraising for Somali famine relief.

#3 Mokhtar became a doorman at the Infinity building, and he was not in college. The constant noise and interruptions from guests and residents were a big problem for him. He spent his days in the lobby of Infinity Tower B, opening doors for residents and service economy workers.

#4 The Lobby Ambassador job at the building was changed after Maria’s arrival. Now the position required constant vigilance, the ability to leap up and across the lobby with elegance and alacrity. The volume of packages that came through that door was hard to believe.
