I am not sure what I just read. It had some aspects of Zoo, Nebraska - where it is more about small town life than the actual Apeland. It is definitely a dated book - the n word is used pretty freely, and just the general attitude towards child rearing and the place of a woman is clear. I am glad I am done with this book, and a little sad I had it on my Mt TBR at all.

I can only assume that Allen’s point of telling this shit storm of a story was to show how we humans are still just big, lumbering apes, ready to go mad and fuck or kill anything in our way. I can step out my door or turn on YouTube and see that, I didn’t need a hunt for a gorilla to disguise the metaphor. Trash characters, trash story. I was hoping the gorilla was going to rip through more of them but she doesn’t even escape til halfway through the book and proceeds to do nothing for most of the rest of it. More awkward sex and incest themed content than a Game of Thrones episode.
