QUINN, Daniel

QUINN, Daniel
(1935-)
   US writer who began publishing work of genre interest with Dreamer (1988), a dark fantasy, and who came to wide notice with Ishmael (1992), which won the first Turner Tomorrow Award of $500,000. The novel is a quietly told but elegantly unrelenting indictment of Homo sapiens's lethal tenure as rulers of the planet, spoken through the consciousness of a melancholy, didactic great ape (APES AND CAVEMEN) who attempts to teach the human protagonist what must be done: you must (he insists) change your lives; or you will all die.
