Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit by Daniel Quinn

4.0

---

What about a perspective of a gorilla following a Socratic dialogue method to get our not-so-contemporary creation myth revealed? The distance with our own Homo Sapiens’ one seems quintessential to draw out the whole picture… i.e. our own cultural idealism (and how we are blindly fulfilling its goals). Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit is thought-provoking and convincing - although the morale of the story is overtly known. To be reread very soon!
