Great Apes

In Will Self's satirical audiobook "Great Apes," middle-aged London painter Simon Dykes faces an unsettling reality after a night of indulgence: he wakes to find his girlfriend transformed into a chimpanzee, alongside a city overrun by clever primates. As he grapples with this bizarre scenario, he is confined to a psychiatric ward under the care of Dr. Zack Busner, who insists that all sentient beings are now chimps. The story blends humor with disturbing themes, exploring humanity's place in the evolutionary chain through Self's sharp wit and original narrative style.
