Pressestimmen
“Lyrical, redemptive . . . Songs of the Gorilla Nation is as much a rhapsody to gorillas as it is an anatomy of autism.” —The New York Times Book Review“A primer on self-preservation and love.” —O Magazine“Gorilla Nation proves Prince-Hughes is a great writer—and an inspiration to anyone searching for a voice.” —Seattle Magazine“[An] affecting, thoughtful memoir . . . both delightfully quixotic and terribly sad. Although Prince-Hughes struggles with verbal and physical interactions, in print she finds touching eloquence and clarity.” —Publishers Weekly
Klappentext
“This is a book about autism. Specifically, it is about my autism, which is both like and unlike other people’s autism. But just as much, it is a story about how I emerged from the darkness of it into the beauty of it.”In this elegant and thought-provoking memoir, Dawn Prince-Hughes traces her personal growth from undiagnosed autism to the moment when, as a young woman, she entered the Seattle Zoo and immediately became fascinated with the gorillas.Having suffered from a lifelong inability to relate to people in a meaningful way, Dawn was surprised to find herself irresistibly drawn to these great primates. By observing them and, later, working with them, she was finally able to emerge from her solitude and connect to living beings in a way she had never previously experienced.Songs of the Gorilla Nation is more than a story of autism, it is a paean to all that is important in life. Dawn Prince-Hughes’s evocative story will undoubtedly have a lasting impact, forcing us, like the author herself, to rediscover and assess our own understanding of human emotion.From the Hardcover edition.

I was washing dishes listening to my favorite podcast Snap Judgement and was startled to hear my old friend mentioned in this autistic woman's life's journey. Despite living a stark existence on concrete for a greater part of his life, Congo touched so many human lives in a positive way. After he was transferred to Woodland Park the keepers there sent our zoo a letter about how he was adjusting to his new life in a natural wooded habitat and a new family. Their description about how he scooped up a handful of soil and let it pour from from his fingers in wonderment just about broke our hearts. We were so happy for him.It was bittersweet to read about the bits and pieces of Congo that Dawn shares with us in her life's journey. I gained a better understanding of autism through her life experiences and her observations of gorilla and human behavior.
I've read this book at least two times, and will probably read it again. I only wish I hadn't loaned it to a psychologist friend - I never got it back! I got this book because I am interested in apes, particularly the gorillas at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo (you will get to know the various gorillas there by reading this). I'm also a teacher and got a lot of insight into autism from the book. Some parts are heart-wrenching, but I think that is needed to make it so inspirational. You'll appreciate the woman in this book for the immense struggle and accomplishments she made.
I have great respect for the author in telling such a personal story that provides clear and instructive insights into the complex thoughts and feelings of an individual with Aspergers and details just how exasperating it can be to navigate through daily life. I learned many fascinating things about gorillas and other apes reading this book. Having raised a son with Aspergers, this personal story has boosted my hopes for his future. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in autism, particularly parents of children on the spectrum.
I read this book after meeting Dawn on-line on an animal health group that I help moderate. I was impressed by the book and how Dawn has come so far from all the difficulties she had in her youth. She learned to overcome them thru her work with the gorillas at the zoo which is an amazing part of this book. Her story is true and therfore even more heartbreaking to know how she suffered to get where she is today. She still works daily in her life to continue to keep on top of her disease.While I was reading her book it was as if a light came on. So many things she wrote about paralled my life and experiences. No, I had not ever been homeless or gotten to the point she had, but I had taken other ways out to hide and protect myself from the feelings and thoughts that play in my head. I realized that I must be in the functioning side of the syndrome disorder, but just barely. Many times I have stood on the edge ready to jump off into the deep dark hole that Dawn was in for years. I think she is braver than I for facing it and conquering it while I have hidden from it and put a wall up to keep it back. I function daily and no one knows the effort it takes to appear normal. Similar to what Dawn does now in her professional life as an instructor. I give Dawn much credit and truly respect her for writing this story of her journey through her experiences with autism. It has helped put a name on the demons for many of us who have read her book, and her courage helps me face each day. Thank you Dawn Prince Hughes.
This is one of the most moving books I have ever read. For anyone with an interest in high functioning autism, this straightforward autobiography of a talented writer and highly introspective woman who suffers from high functioning autism, cannot be matched - not by Temple Grandin, or anyone else. She gives voice to the voiceless, hope to the hopeless and expresses her feelings in a way that is very touching. This should be a film.
