In Mr. Coleman, Scot Simmons creates two unforgettable characters: Mr. Coleman, a chimpanzee, and Tim, the good but emotionally damaged man who brings Mr. Coleman into his home and his life. Mr. Coleman’s presence launches Tim on a journey through his memories, many of them harrowing, in search of the events that shaped him, the opportunities he’s missed, the redemption he seeks. Vividly and beautifully written, Scot Simmons’s Mr. Coleman explores that largest of questions: What does it mean to be human? Mr. Coleman is a moving story, heartbreaking and heartwarming simultaneously, filled with dramatic incidents, sharply realized characters, moments of drama and gentle insight. By the time the reader is finished with Mr. Coleman, it will be clear that Scot Simmons has created that rarest of first novels, a compelling story that carries within its pages the seeds of larger truths. Coleman is a novel about the power of memory, and the potential within all of us for change and growth.
