Jennie is a novel by Douglas Preston first published in 1994. It follows the life of an extraordinary chimpanzee named Jennie and her experience being raised by humans in the 1960s and 1970s. Despite the format of interviews and excerpts from memoirs, the story is entirely fictional and is mostly based on the life of a chimp in the 1930s who was the inspiration for Curious George.Not to be confused with the 1950 novel by Paul Gallico. | |

Fingore: The final straw for Jennie being sent to the chimp colony is Sandy losing a finger. | |

Author Tract | |
| Jennie / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract: In the author's note at the end, Preston notes that while the novel was fiction it was all based on real research on chimpanzees. He notes what remarkable creatures they and the other great apes are and encourages the reader to learn more about conservation of our closest genetic relatives. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Jennie / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Jennie's death is officially ruled as an accident. Sandy, however believes that it was actually suicide: when she realized that she is permanently in the chimp colony and no one from home is ever going to rescue her, she ran full force at the bars of her cage and fractured her skull. He adds: "With all those exÂperÂiments, they were alÂmost able to erase the disÂtincÂtion beÂtween man and anÂimal. The one thing they didn't look at was Jennie's abilÂity to underÂstand death. The knowlÂedge of good and evil. Now isn't it ironÂic that with her fiÂnal act, her suicide, she obliterated this last disÂtincÂtion?" | |

Parental Favoritism | |
| Jennie / int_88933ad4 | comment |
Parental Favoritism: A version. The Hamiltons basically considered Jennie to be their adopted daughter. Their actual daughter, Sarah tells the author (in the only conversation they have) that she hated Jennie, because her father loved Jennie more than her. | |

Never Speak Ill of the Dead | |
| Jennie / int_a084f0e0 | comment |
Never Speak Ill of the Dead: Averted. Dr. Epstein remarks that this is disrespectful and quotes Voltaire on the subject: "'To the living we owe respect, but to the dead only truth.' I honor Hugo's memory by telling the truth about him." | |

Death by Despair | |
| Jennie / int_b4c406a6 | comment |
Death by Despair: Hugo never recovered from Jennie's death and eventually died when he had a routine gallstone operation and did not wake up from anesthetia. Dr. Epstein and Sandy both say that Hugo died because deep down he wanted to. | |

Break the Scientist | |
| Jennie / int_f90a7301 | comment |
Break the Scientist: The people who know and study Jennie are constantly annoyed by other people referring to her as a monkey. Sandy nearly gets into a fight with some other children over the wrong terminology. He parrots his father's phrase that "monkeys are inferior." | |
