[The Journey Begins 01] • Apes of Eden

A tribe of killer apes living an idyllic life in the Garden of Eden begins a monumental quest to search the post-apocalyptic Earth in search of God.  The Journey Begins is the first of a trilogy.  The Apes of Eden is written in iambic pentameter.  It is a humorous look at religion and philosophy through the eyes of an intelligent ape.  

Jon P. Gunn wrote The Apes of Eden over a period of many, many years. He read Spenser, Chaucer, Dante and Cervantes.  He died while still intermittently adding chapters. Many oddball philosophies, from solopsism to deism are explored and mocked. Allusions to a broad spectrum of myths and canons are made.
