Author's second novel. A 1997 New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Satirical novel about a middle-aged London artist who after a night of debauchery loses his sense of perspective and believes that humanity has reverted to primate forms. "A high-powered satirical weapon... with Great Apes, his most satisfying book so far, Will Self establishes himself as an alpha male in the British literary hierarchy." –The New York Times Book Review
