Tender and artful . . . a gently spiritual celebration of life. New York Times Book ReviewAcclaimed New York Times bestselling author Francine Prose weaves an ingenious, darkly humorous, and brilliantly observant story that follows the exploits and intrigue of a constellation of characters affiliated with an offoffoffoff Broadway childrens musicalMister Monkeya screwball childrens musical about a playfully larcenous pet chimpanzeeis the kind of family favorite that survives far past its prime. Margot, who plays the chimps lawyer, knows the production is dreadful and bemoans the failure of her acting career. Shes settled into the drudgery of playing a humiliating partuntil the day she receives a mysterious letter from an anonymous admirer . . . and later, in the middle of a performance, has a shocking encounter with Adam, the twelveyearold who plays the title role.Francine Proses effervescent comedy is told from the viewpoints of wildly unreliable, seemingly disparate characters whose lives become deeply connected as the madcap narrative unfolds. There is Adam, whose looming adolescence informs his interpretation of his role; Edward, a young audience member who is candidly unimpressed with the play; Ray, the author of the novel on which the musical is based, who witnesses one of the most awkward first dates in literature; and even the eponymous Mister Monkey, the Monkey God himself.With her trademark wit and verve, Prose delves into humanitys most profound mysteries: art, ambition, childhood, aging, and love. Startling and captivating, Mister Monkey is a breathtaking novel from a writer at the height of her craft.
