Synopsis

Cary Fagan began his career writing short stories before moving on to novels as well as numerous books for children. Yet he has never given up his love for the story form. Here are ten new stories whose characters are funny, serious, peculiar, and absorbing — as only Cary Fagan can write them.

Covering a wide range of human experience with humour and grace, My Life among the Apes is a testament to Cary Fagan’s mastery of his craft.

Praise
"The volume's 10 stories are, without exception, splendid yarns, told with the practised ease of a natural storyteller."
— Quill and Quire
"There is humour in these stories, pathos and great yarn telling. Remarkable narrative gifts. Thank you Mr. Fagan for such a fabulous Christmas/Hanukkah/birthday present."
— Toronto Star
"The reading of these tales is a pleasurable experience and a reminder of what the sinews of short fiction are all about."
— National Post
"Fagan writes plausible tales told from the perspective of believable and relatable narrators. In other words, if short stories are your thing and more notably even if they’re not, you can’t go wrong here."
