Hard to believe that it has been more than ten years since I last read this. Within certain circles
Ishmael and other works by Quinn have taken on almost mythic status. Its about a gorilla, who tells one man that there have been other ways for people to live on this planet; ways that may not hasten human and ecological demise. The main insight, that different ways of seeing and being are important, feels particularly relevant. A book to return to, again and again.
