false <![CDATA[Great Apes]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169433198m/40261.jpg 40261 11 Like Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis, Great Apes is a strange and twisted tale, a surreal satire on the human condition, and an omen for those who wander too far. After a long night of partying, Simon Dykes, a successful British painter, wakes up to find that his girlfriend has turned into a chimpanzee. In fact, the world Simon once knew has become a planet of apes. Convinced he is still human, Simon is confined to the emergency ward of a hospital and put under the care of Dr. Zack Busner, clinical psychologist, radical psychoanalyst, maverick drug researcher, and media personality. Written with the glittering satiric edge that is Self's hallmark, Great Apes is a hilarious, disturbing, and truly unforgettable novel. 1359304 1997 Great Apes total:434|5:88|4:163|3:112|2:45|1:26| 434 1544 670 49 5 1 false false Sat Aug 25 23:34:52 -0700 2007 Thu Feb 28 02:05:00 -0800 2008 valid library card.
