I picked up Self's book about a year ago and have finally gotten into it. Sometimes you pick up books when you don't need them at all, knowing you will need them later. Talk about contemplating one's humanity, while still maintaining humor. Continuing on with our fascination of our humanity through the relationship between humans and apes, as seen in Planet of the Apes, King Kong and many other films and movies, this book is a wonderful addition to the niche. Written in 1997, it's reads as timeless. Self is so inventive in exploring art, society, humanity, and perspective. Are we all mad? What is madness? It's all very interesting.
