Rob Kall: And
welcome to the Rob Kall Bottom Up Radio Show, WNJC 1360 AM out of Washington
Township, reaching metro Philly and South Jersey, sponsored by Opednews.com . Tonight, I'm very excited to
have as my guest Daniel Quinn. "Daniel
Quinn (and this is from Wikipedia) is an American writer popularly described as
an environmentalist, and best for known his novel Ishmael, published in
1992, which won the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award in 1991. Quinn does not, however, identify himself as
an environmentalist, criticizing the term for 'creating a false dichotomy that
frames the environment somehow separate from human life.'" So.
Welcome to the show, Daniel!
Daniel Quinn Oh, I'm
glad to be with you.
Rob Kall: So tell
me: that's Wikipedia's take on you. How would
you like people to think about you?
Daniel Quinn Well
that's a question I've never been able to answer, and people have tried all
sorts of things. I've been called a
primitive anarchist, and, as you say, I've been called by 'environmentalist.' I suppose the closest is "Cultural Critic,"
whatever in the world that might be,.
Rob Kall: That's
pretty wide and open. That' gives you
lots of room to do whatever you want.
Daniel Quinn Yeah.
Rob Kall: OK. I contacted you because I've been a fan ever
since you came out with Ishmael, a brilliant book that everybody should
read. Let me repeat that again: Ishmael
is an incredible book that gets you to think about the world in different ways;
that, I believe every person should read this.
How would you describe Ismael?
