Publisher's Notes
First Line: ""Ishmael" has always been much more than a book to me."

Industry Reviews
"My working hypothesis is that this book is actually a theological work....For some reason it has been superficially structured as a novel. It is a comprehensive and devastating analysis of 'civilized' man framed as a Socratic dialog between a man and a gorilla."
Millennium Whole Earth Catalog - Jim Britell

"From now on I will divide the books I have read into two categories--the ones I read before 'Ishmael' and those I read after."
Book Jacket - Jim Britell

"Wonderfully earnest and engaging. Think of Robert Pirsig in 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' of B.F. Skinner in 'Walden Two.'"
Austin

"As suspenseful, inventive and socially urgent as any fiction or nonfiction book you are likely to read this or any other year."
Austin
