This article presents information on the book "Hackenfeller's Ape," by Brigid Brophy. In less felicitous hands this brief story of the elderly biologist whose ambition was to observe the mating in captivity of a pair of apes higher on the evolutionary scale than either gorilla or chimpanzee might easily have been farce or formula. Brophy who has the industry to make her most minor character an individual and the wit to see her situations as organic rather than mechanical sequences, has written a delicate satire with a cutting edge.
