<p><strong>An acerbic, entertaining caper of evolution, gangsters, Darwin's brain, and the Golden Age of Hollywood.</strong></p><p>When Sonya Orlova, a successful 1930s horror-film actress, crosses paths with a gorilla whose brain has been swapped for the frozen cerebrum of the late Charles Darwin, the two are inspired to write and produce evolution-themed monster movies-with Sonya in her greatest role, Korgora the Ape Woman!</p><p>As this offbeat and controversial Hollywood series finds a devoted cult audience, Sonia's relationship with her strange simian collaborator acquires an intensity neither could have imagined. </p><p>Then disaster strikes, as zealous opponents to Darwin's ideas contrive to put the Ape Woman out of business. </p><p>By turns satiric and romantic, madcap and thoughtful, Behold the Ape is at once an outré love story, a tribute to classic monster movies, and a science-fictional celebration of that beleaguered institution we call public education. </p><br><br><b>Author:</b> James Morrow<br><b>Publisher:</b> Wordfire Press<br><b>Published:</b> 04/11/2023<br><b>Pages:</b> 158<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.74lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781680574067<p></p>
