Boyle offers his unique view of the world. A primate-center researcher becomes romantically involved with a chimp; a Norse poet overcomes bard-block; collectors compete to snare the ancient Aztec beer can, Quetzacoatl Lite; and Lassie abandons Timmy for a randy coyote. Dark humor, delirious fantasy, and surreal satire come together in this collection that brilliantly expresses just what the \"evolution\" of mankind has wrought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049148039408,"sku":"9780140299946","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780140299946_p0.jpg?v=1763642146","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780140299946","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
