Who is Daniel Quinn?

Daniel Quinn is an American novelist and former publisher of educational texts best known for his novel Ishmael, which won the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award in 1991 and was published the following year. Quinn's ideas are popularly associated with environmentalism, though he criticizes this term, claiming that it portrays the environment as somehow separate from human life and thus creates a false dichotomy. Rather, Quinn identifies himself a cultural critic and specifically refers to his philosophy as new tribalism.
