This blog is all about de-evolution, overgrown body hair and even-toed ungulates. It also happens to be about two people who do not become better citizens, nor grow into mild and tolerant grown-ups. The novel at the center of this exploration is called New World Monkeys, but I guess it could be called Do The Wrong Thing. There’s something freeing in the thought of being a savage, isn’t there? I think you’ll see a part of yourself in this book and this blog if you’re willing to, uh, look the monkey in the eye.
