1. The Evolution Man Or How I Ate My Father
In this satirical novel, readers are transported to a comically portrayed prehistoric era, where an inventive hominid family led by an ambitious patriarch strives to propel human evolution forward. The father, a visionary of his time, introduces groundbreaking advancements such as fire, cooking, and the concept of a future, much to the chagrin and bewilderment of his conservative tribe. His efforts are met with a mix of awe and resistance, as he and his family navigate the challenges of their changing world, grappling with the consequences of progress and the dynamics of their familial relationships. The story humorously explores themes of innovation, tradition, and the complexities of human development through the lens of a family that could be considered the very first to rebel against the status quo.
