The acclaimed New York Times best-selling creator weaves an ingenious, darkly funny, and brilliantly observant storyline that follows the exploits and intrigue of your constellation of character types associated with an off-off-off-off-Broadway children's musical. Mister Monkey - a screwball children's musical about a playfully larcenous pet chimpanzee - is the kind of family favorite that survives way past its perfect. Margot, who plays the chimp's law firm, knows the development is dreadful and bemoans the inability of her acting career. She's resolved into the drudgery of participating in a humiliating part - before day she obtains a mysterious letter from an private admirer and later, in the center of a performance, has a shocking face with Adam, the 12-year-old who plays the title role. Francine Prose's effervescent humor is advised from the viewpoints of wildly unreliable, relatively disparate character types whose lives become deeply connected as the madcap narrative unfolds. You can find Adam, whose looming adolescence informs his interpretation of his role; Edward, a audience member who's candidly unimpressed with the play; Ray, the author of the book which the musical is situated, who witnesses one of the most awkward first dates in books; and even the eponymous Mister Monkey, the Monkey God himself. With her hallmark wit and verve, Prose delves into humanity's most profound mysteries: artwork, ambition, childhood, maturing, and love. Startling and captivating, Mister Monkey is a breathtaking book from a copy writer at the height of her build.
