In this elegant and thought-provoking memoir, Dawn Prince-Hughes
traces her personal growth from undiagnosed autism to the moment,
as a young woman, when she entered the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle
and became immediately fascinated with the gorillas. By observing
them and, later, working with them, Prince-Hughes was finally able
to emerge from her solitude and connect to living beings in a way
she had never previously experienced.
More than a story of autism, "Songs of the Gorilla Nation "is a
poignant, beautifully written exploration of the rich landscape of
human emotion and the ways we learn to love.
