This satirical novel, His Monkey Wife, presents a whimsical yet incisive look at societal norms and human relationships through the unconventional marriage of a man and a chimpanzee. John Collier’s narrative chronicles the absurdities that arise when a highly intelligent primate, Emily, attempts to navigate the complexities of human high society. The story maintains a witty and often darkly humorous tone, illustrating the superficiality and hypocrisy prevalent in the human world. It argues for a re-evaluation of what constitutes intelligence and affection, all while maintaining a charmingly eccentric atmosphere. This unique work offers a sharp commentary on love, class, and the very definition of civilization.
