CHORUS OF APES OF GOD
(OFF STAGE)—

“MR. WYNDHAM LEWIS
**MUST NOT** WRITE NOVELS!

**WE WILL NOT ALLOW**
MR. WYNDHAM LEWIS TO
WRITE FICTION! NOT FICTION!
MR. WYNDHAM LEWIS NEED NOT THINK
THAT HE CAN WRITE WICKED STORIES
ALL ABOUT US FOR HE CAN'T—
**SO THERE!**

WE DON'T WANT TO FIGHT MR. WYNDHAM
LEWIS BUT BY JINGO IF WE DO—
WE'VE GOT THE INK, WE'VE GOT THE PEN,
WE'VE GOT THE PAPER TOO!!!
**AND** WE'LL PUT A FEW LITTLE REVIEWS ON
FOOT THAT WILL PUT MR. WYNDHAM LEWIS'S NOSE
OUT OF JOINT—WE'VE GOT THE MONEY

**NO**—A THOUSAND TIMES **NO NO NO!**
MR. WYNDHAM LEWIS **SHALL NOT PAINT**
US WITH HIS FICTION-PEN! **NO!**

**IF** MR. W. L. LIKES HE CAN WRITE AS MUCH AS
HE WANTS TO ABOUT OUR **POEMS** OH YES—OR
ABOUT OUR **PICTURES** CERTAINLY—BUT HE
**SHALL NOT** WRITE ABOUT US!
**SO THERE!**”

Extracts from some notices of The Apes of God.

“This is a gross and tedious book.”—The Simian Sentinel.

“The Apes of God is one of the waste places of the Earth of English Letters. Its perusal is only to be attempted by the lonely explorer, prepared to turn his back upon humanity for many years, and he must be sound indeed both in wind and limb to survive the terrors of this arid wilderness. In short do not buy this book!”—The Literary Gazette of the Simiade.

“This book has bored us so much we can scarcely lift our pen. We are always bored when we read about ourselves but we have never been so fatigued as this time, for we have never read so much about ourselves before or so much like. It is awful! DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK—unless for some accountable reason you wish to read about US! We are not amusing!”—The Nation of the Simiade.

“Mr. Lewis has failed utterly—he has no idea what WE are like! Read our books—do not read HIS!”—The Weekly Blurb.
