" A wonder-filled novel of ideas" - Samuel R. Delany " Bishop's work is always ambitious ... and artistically rewarding" - Publishers Weekly "... one of the best [books] I've ever read" - Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars Ancient of Days tells the story of Adam, a habiline man - a living specimen of a multimillion-year-old hominid species, Homo habilis. Told from the perspective of Paul Loyd, a restaurant owner in the town of Georgia, the story chronicles the discovery of Adam's vibrant artistic sensibility, and his struggle against persecution in a culturally diverse world. Ancient of Days is a meditation on what it means to be human, in whatever form that may be. Through Adam's deep spirituality, the novel explores the nature of God, and how humanity views its place in the grand scheme of things.
