The cat is out of the “proverbial” bag, and it is followed by a troupe of monkeys chucking feces.
Despite preconceived notions, it is now obvious that the “great 100 Monkeys novel” is not quite a novel in length, nor a novel in content. The clue as to its farce prior to debut would seem obvious in retrospect: a rock & roll band releasing, what they called in a number of interviews, “a serious piece of literary work,” on no other date than the first of April – or AprilFool’s Day.
The book is short, funny, and written in turns by each band member. Illustrations are by Jerad Anderson.
The book, Every Monkey Dookies, was a collaborative effort and remains a patiently cultivated bit of humor.’
