Su questo libro

Recensione:

"A thoughtful, fearlessly  low-key novel about the role of our species on  the planet...laid out for us with an originality  and a clarity that few would deny." --  New York Times Book Review.

  "[Quinn] entrap[s] us in the dialogue itself, in  the sweet and terrible lucidity of Ishmael's  analysis of the human condition...it was surely for  this deep, clear persuasiveness of argument that  Ishmael was given its huge prize." --  The Washington Post

"It  is as suspenseful, inventive, and socially urgent  as any fiction or nonfiction book you are likely  to read this or any other year" --  The Austin Chronicle.

  "Deserves high marks as a serious -- and all too  rare -- effort that is unflinchingly engaged with  fundamental life-and-death concerns." --  The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

L'autore:

Daniel Quinn's first book, Ishmael, won the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship, a prize for fiction presenting creative and positive solutions to global problems.  He is also the author of Providence, The Story of B, and My Ishmael.
