Compare His Monkey Wife by John Collier, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

With his pet chimp Emily in tow, Alfred Fatigay returns to London to confront his coolly modern and somewhat merciless fiancée, Amy Flint. Literate and literary, Emily has her own problems - she`s human enough to have fallen in love with her owner, who`s helpless in the grip of the mercilessly cold Amy. Emily`s inferior status and her reasonable, emotional voice in the wilderness of cold modern life is more than just John Collier`s clever device - she represents the society and culture she finds herself in with His Monkey Wife, as an African servant and an intelligent female in a man`s world. Eva Brann, a professor at St. Johns College, Maryland, writes the introduction for this novel. | His Monkey Wife by John Collier, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
