(urth) lots of stuff

Wolfe does make mistakes. And he can inadvertently reuse ideas. A famous 
instance that he noted himself is that his protagonist in "The Other 
Dead Man" and the villain in "An Evil Guest" have the same name. And it 
is not uncommon for writers to have an inclination for particular 
adjectives and analogies.

But if this is the case in this instance, I would think there would be 
examples of Wolfe comparing characters to monkeys in other stories? 
Especially since he did it three times in this one novel. Can anyone 
think of some others?
