About This Book
The narrative follows a hugely built wrestler whose ape-like features are turned into a successful caveman stage persona while he secretly hopes to earn enough money to establish a research laboratory. Backstage life and promotional scheming are shown through his relationship with a loyal manager and a simmering, increasingly dangerous rivalry with a fellow performer. Episodes alternate between ring spectacle, travel and private reflection, and the story also traces his pursuit of a romantic partner named Sala, blending slapstick action with themes of identity, ambition and longing.
