Don't be lured in by the "cool" title,
By A Customer
This review is from: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Ape: A Caprice (Paperback)
This book draws its title from rites associated with Thoth, the Egyptian god of writing. Despite the fact that at one point the author dreams he becomes an ape, there is next to nothing interesting or even amusing about Butor's book. The book is essentially a caprice about authorship, creativity, and autobiography; and almost every element of it is trite and very French, i.e. humorless name-dropping and kindergarten level abstractions. Read Olive Moore's "Spleen" instead.
