Resumen del Editor
Some people lost their sense of proportion, others their sense of scale, but Simon Dykes, a middle-aged, successful London painter, has lost his sense of perspective in a most disturbing fashion. After a night of routine, pedestrian debauchery, traipsing from toilet to toilet, and imbibing a host of narcotics on the way, Simon wakes up cuddled in his girlfriend's loving arms. Much to his dismay, however, his girlfriend has turned into a chimpanzee. To add insult to injury, the psychiatric crash team sent to deal with him as he flips his lid is also comprised of chimps.
Indeed, the entire city is overrun by clever primates, who, when they are not jostling for position, grooming themselves, or mating some of the females, can be found driving Volvos, hanging out on street corners, and running the world. Nonetheless convinced that he is still a human, Simon is confined to the emergency psychiatric ward of Charing Cross Hospital, where he becomes the patient of Dr. Zack Busner, clinical psychologist, medical doctor, anti-psychiatrist, and former television personality - an expert at the height of his reign as alpha male. As Busner attempts to convince him that everyone who is fully sentient in this world are chimpanzees, Simon struggles with the horrifying delusion that he is really a human trapped in a chimp's body.
Written with the same brilliant satiric wit that has distinguised Self's earlier fiction, Great Apes is a hilarious, often disturbing, and absolutely original take on man's place in the evolutionary chain. In a strange and twisted tale that recalls Jonathan Swift and Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis, Will Self's comic genius is impossible to ignore.

The murderee is Nicola Six, a "black hole" of sex and self-loathing who is intent on orchestrating her own extinction. The murderer may be Keith Talent, a violent lowlife whose only passions are pornography and darts; or the rich, honorable, and dimly romantic Guy Clinch. As Nicola leads her suitors towards the precipice, London--and, indeed, the whole world--seems to shamble after them in a corrosively funny novel of complexity and morality.

Everyone, from her doctor to her husband, thinks she's imagining things. A month passes. And one bright summer morning, the babies disappear from Lauren's side in a park. But when they're found, something is different about them.

Twenty years ago, 16-year-old Tara Martin disappeared from a small town in the heart of England. Now, her sudden return and the mind-bending tale of where she’s been will challenge our very perception of the truth. For 20 years after Tara Martin disappeared, her parents and her brother, Peter, lived in denial of the grim fact that she was gone for good. Then suddenly on Christmas Day, the doorbell rings at her parents’ home, and there, dishevelled and slightly peculiar looking, Tara stands. It’s a miracle, but alarm bells are ringing for Peter. Tara’s story just does not add up.

While making his first tours of the hospital at which he has just begun working, maverick psychiatrist Zachary Busner notices that many of the patients exhibit a strange physical tic: rapid, precise movements that they repeat over and over. One of these patients is Audrey Dearth, an elderly woman born in the slums of West London in 1890. Audrey’s memories of a bygone Edwardian London, her lovers, involvement with early feminist and socialist movements, and, in particular, her time working in an umbrella shop, alternate with Busner’s attempts to treat her condition and bring light to her clouded world.

Will Self is one of Britain's best-known contemporary writers, a public intellectual whose novels have been shortlisted for the Booker Prize and translated into over 20 languages. In Will, his first-ever memoir, he turns his attention fully to his own self, and in particular his addictions as a young man. An addiction memoir like no other, Will echoes the best of Self's psychedelic fiction, and is one of the most eloquent depictions of the allure of hard drugs ever written.

While making his first tours of the hospital at which he has just begun working, maverick psychiatrist Zachary Busner notices that many of the patients exhibit a strange physical tic: rapid, precise movements that they repeat over and over. One of these patients is Audrey Dearth, an elderly woman born in the slums of West London in 1890. Audrey’s memories of a bygone Edwardian London, her lovers, involvement with early feminist and socialist movements, and, in particular, her time working in an umbrella shop, alternate with Busner’s attempts to treat her condition and bring light to her clouded world.

Historia
Will Self is one of Britain's best-known contemporary writers, a public intellectual whose novels have been shortlisted for the Booker Prize and translated into over 20 languages. In Will, his first-ever memoir, he turns his attention fully to his own self, and in particular his addictions as a young man. An addiction memoir like no other, Will echoes the best of Self's psychedelic fiction, and is one of the most eloquent depictions of the allure of hard drugs ever written.

Historia
Here, gathered in one volume, are the stories that made Clarice a Brazilian legend. Originally a cloth edition of 86 stories, now we have 89 in all, covering her whole amazing career, from her teenage years to her deathbed. In these pages, we meet teenagers becoming aware of their sexual and artistic powers, humdrum housewives whose lives are shattered by unexpected epiphanies, old people who don't know what to do with themselves - and in their stories, Clarice takes us through their lives - and hers - and ours.

So funny, from the 90's¿ wow! Awesome.
Introspective into our animal world neighbors from down the street at the zoo, in forests, on branches, and doing their animal business, going about their days of living in our world with cars, technology, modern psychological institutions, art institutions. And so what, the familiarity of chimpanzees at the zoo grooming and touching each others nether regions is fully there in this book, I find this amusing. It's funny because this is truly us humans , only in a different way with various shifts of value. Funny, absolutely hilarious.

I haven’t read anything quite like it before.
I can’t quite take the measure of what John Lee has accomplished by narrating this immense work. It’s somethin’, one way or the other....
I suspect the novel itself will stay with me for some time, almost entirely in good ways. It’s a pretty extraordinary accomplishment. (If the book does have a substantial flaw, I, for one would say it’s the final act, which felt variously rushed and—I want to say—disintegrative or even nihilistic.)
If I never hear the phrases “ischial scrag” and “ischial pleat,” though, it’ll be too soon.

Interesting
Interesting story. Though I don't know if I would have finished listening if it weren't for John Lee narrating.

Exceptionally well written & narrated!
I skipped the summary and reviews of this book, and jumped right in. It took a couple of chapters before I found the rhythm, and what a fascinating, off-putting, educating & slightly nauseating yet sweetly pleasant and innocent world opened up in my mind as created by Mr self and narrated by Mr Lee. Surreptitiously injected throughout this book are brilliant coined terms, satirical parallels of modern culture and human-ape counterparts. This book will stay with you long after you've put it down, Bravo to the author and bravo to the narrator!

Way too long
Interesting concept, albeit one already explored more famously by Charlton Heston. Very competently narrated considering all the hoots and chimp sounds required from the narrator. But wow this should have been a LOT shorter with half as many mating scenes and mentions of anal scrags. It got very repetitive. He completely lost me with maybe a third or a quarter left to go, in a scene involving a decanter full of liquified excrement. I wound up switching to a text version instead of the audio book because I could more easily skim through. Sorry, but I do eventually need to be able to eat again.

A Satire without Wit or Humor
The description of Great Apes is quite interesting - sadly, the actual book is a very dry and far too wordy blather that is confusing and annoying. Best guess is that the book is written by a human who pretends to be a chimpanzee writing about a human who turns into a chimpanzee? The narrator has a pleasant voice, but reads like a newscaster. I gave up after 4 chapters. It was free - which made it still overpriced.

Sex, sex, and more SEX
The synopsis sounds great and the first hour or so is really good, then it’s sex, sex, and more sex until it’s just sickening. Couldn’t get past 2.5 hours and gave up.

Simian Ulysses
Pretentious, tedious , truly awful . A simian Ulysses with the characters throwing their feces . Worst book I’ve ever downloaded from Audible .
