The Origins of Ishmael

Portland, Oregon
22 November, 1996



This wonderful "Read Ishmael" icon was created by some unknown artist and nailed to a telephone pole outside 23rd Avenue Books in Portland OR a few days ago. Clearly "branded" as a Taker, the figure bears its "brand-name" on its face---written in barcode.





Portland OR is home to one of the world's great book stores, Powell's, open till 11 pm 365 days a year.




More than a million books are on offer at Powell's, sorted into color-coded category rooms---Rose Room, information; Orange Room, the arts; Gold Room, popular fiction, Blue Room, philosophy and literature; and so on. Daniel's books are found in the Blue Room.




Joanna Rose, the Powell's events manager, remarked that the crowd at Daniel's Q&A session were unusually civil and considerate. They were that, as well as being excited to collect signed copies of ISHMAEL, PROVIDENCE, and THE STORY OF B.
