Aldous Huxley is known for two things, the brilliant futuristic novel Brave New World, and Doors of Perception, The Annoying LSD induced Book That Inspired the name of Jim Morrison's band. Somewhere between two stages of his thesis life and artistic career, Huxley wrote Ape and Essence. Its Humor is almost indistinguishable from its horro, a truly Successful Work From That point of view only. Add to deed One of the most unique narrative format ever used (a 30 some-odd page short story acting as a preface to this sci-fi Screenplay), to absolute irreverence for Contemporary Holly- Wood and the future of organized religion, a contrasting of guilt with passive irresponsibility, and in uncharacteristic (For Huxley) optimistic ending. This is One of Those books You'll Never See in a book store and you might even be hard pressed to find it in most libraries. Still, it's nothing short of a treasure. It's sharp and warped and it makes you think a whole hell of a lot.
