[Dialogue] Daniel Quinn and the future of civilization

[Sunny Walker]

Lucille, et al.,
Yes, for some reason, I'd never read any of Quinn's work and (as I'm clear
from 1100 plus emails that have piled up in the past few months), just ran
across your note. Now I'm about half-way through *My Ishmael* and on Sunday
read the two chapters on schools to my daughter. Would love to talk more
about the concepts as I too fascinated by the great ape's insights.

To Dick Kroeger et al from Lucille Chagnon
I have not been reading a lot lately, but a month or so ago after
discovering and devouring Daniel Quinn's autobiography, Providence, I picked
up
Ishmael (which I had read several years ago) and re-read it.
As soon as I finished it, I read Quinn's The Story of B, and I am now
skimming My Ishmael because so much of it is a repetition of and expansion
on The Story of B.  I'm up to the last chapters and Julie's preparing to go
to Africa.
I'm drawn to it.  I'm ambivalent.  I'm hooked.  I'm looking for dialogue.

And my computer put this unfinished e-mail in my outbox rather than my
drafts box.  Sorry about that. Eager to hear who else besides Dick Kroeger
and me are dialoguing with a very intelligent ape.
