TEACHER SEEKS PUPIL.
MUST HAVE AN EARNEST DESIRE TO SAVE THE WORLD. . . .
Welcome to the home base of Ishmael, the extraordinary gorilla teacher,
and his creator, author Daniel Quinn.
This is the rebirth of a site that grew and developed over many years following the publication of Ishmael.
It’s a virtual library of all things relating to the teacher, the book, and the author.
Here you’ll discover answers to questions that have been asked again and again:
Why a gorilla as teacher?
How do I explain to my friends what Ishmael is about?
Why is the teacher called Ishmael?
What can I as one individual do to help save the world?
Who or what is B?
This site is Daniel Quinn’s gift to all of you and his legacy – in books, essays, and speeches;
in podcasts, video, and print interviews; and in answers to hundreds of questions asked by readers around the world.
Daniel Quinn 1935 – 2018
