| Summary | "My Monks of Vagabondia" by Andress Floyd is a collection of fact-based narratives written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the author’s experiences and insights gained from working with outcast men within the framework of the Self Master Colony, a community aimed at rehabilitation and self-improvement. Through humor and tragedy, the stories highlight the struggles and triumphs of individuals seeking self-mastery and a purpose in life. The narrative unfolds through a series of episodes featuring various characters, each with unique backgrounds and challenges, such as the wandering pilgrim, the bashful beggar, and the anarchist. These stories reveal the hardships of homelessness, addiction, and societal rejection while simultaneously showcasing the resilience and humanity in each character. The overarching theme is one of redemption, emphasizing that even those deemed lost or broken can find hope and renewal through kindness, community support, and the pursuit of self-control and personal growth. The tales serve as an uplifting reminder of the potential for transformation within everyone, reinforcing the colony’s mission to provide shelter and support to those in need.
