Great Apes by Will Self

Hardcover, UK First Edition | 1st Printing | 1997 | Publisher: Bloomsbury

A brilliant and provocative first edition from Will Self, one of the most original and uncompromising voices in contemporary British fiction. Renowned for his savage wit, hallucinatory prose, and fearless satirical imagination, Self here constructs a dizzying thought experiment: a painter wakes to find that human and chimpanzee civilization have been inverted — that chimps are now the dominant species and humans the animals. Great Apes is a tour de force of satirical fiction that calls to mind Jonathan Swift and Franz Kafka, and remains one of Self's most celebrated and discussed novels.

Condition: Good, but will show signs of previous ownership, mostly on the dust cover which has a few scratches.

An excellent collectible for readers of British satirical fiction, literary first editions, and fans of Will Self's remarkable body of work.
