all as seen from a gorilla's point of view. So instead of putting them forward he's putting them back - making them unacceptable."

He said Lee's actions gave "a bad name to the very ideas he's trying to put forward. "It certainly puzzles me." Quinn was even more disapproving on his website,. "It's hard to imagine how he got from reading this book to his current behavior," Quinn told me via telephone from his Houston home.
Quinn wondered how that meaning could have been misinterpreted so badly. In the hours leading up to the crisis' bloody conclusion, Quinn reflected on the meaning of "My Ishmael," the book that Lee repeatedly cited as his inspiration. Authorities said an explosive device went off when Lee was shot, but the hostages were rescued unharmed. The hours-long standoff in Maryland ended when police shot and killed the gunman. Unfortunately, it also spawned an escalating series of threats from James Lee, who resented the Discovery Channel so much that he took company employees hostage today. Daniel Quinn's story of Ishmael, a telepathic gorilla who tries to show humans where they're going wrong, has spawned a popular series of books, an eerie Hollywood movie and a movement that takes a critical look at our global industrial society. The "Ishmael" books are aimed at encouraging radical social change - but their author says hostage-taking is definitely not the change he had in mind.
