Whispers in the Ear of a Dreaming Ape, by Joshua Chaplinsky

What Joshua Chaplinsky has given us with Whispers in the Ear of a Dreaming Ape is an experimental set of stories that mostly shine with brilliant insight and are always entertaining. It’s a close look at humans on the macro level through a micro lens. He’s showing us how little our lives actually matter, but in the end, they’re still our lives. Within this short book, he’s packaged optimism in a cloak of cynicism, which is truly the only way to do it.
