THE WOMAN AND THE APE

Those of us over a certain age find ourselves acquainted with many unattached women justly complaining that a good man is hard to find. In this satiric novel the heroine solves this problem by running off with an ape. George Guidall approaches the book as a model narrator. He possesses a pleasant, grandfatherly voice. Speaking in measured tones, he parses each phrase for its full value and gives each character a distinct personality. In this instance, he's far more interesting than the material he reads.
