Behold the Ape by James Morrow
5.0
adventurous emotional funny lighthearted sad

A thoroughly loveable and endearing fable about oldey timey horror movies in Hollywood and the woman of a thousand faces who stars in some of them, the brain of Charles Darwin transplanted to the body of an ape and, since biology texbooks now have to leave it out or risk the wrath of the godly, a crusade to educate America on the facts of evolution through the medium of horror movies. The satire and the genuine affection for old movies and the righteous defence of science and education are all expertly handled to ultimately moving effect.
