Moving Pictures Magazine - "...an affirmation that it is only by indulging in other cultures that we can even begin to question ours - and that, in the end, if we can't begin to accept and love those in our lives for who they are and how they're great, then our eyes will never fully be open and suffering never truly be eased."

Entertainment Weekly - "...a lyrical, heartbreaking, and deeply stirring meditation on the mystery of autism"

Hammer to Nail - "To say that this nonfiction film surpasses your average "case study of an affliction" flick would be a gross understatement, for it is both a thrillingly cinematic and rollicking adventure story, as well as an intimate journey into a family's most private and tormented moments."

"The Horse Boy is a wonderful book that encourages families affected by autism to dare to dream of a better quality of life, even when things seem hopeless. We are thrilled to be working with Rupert and Little, Brown to help raise awareness of autism through this family's story, and we hope it will inspire other families to find their own children's unique paths to happiness."

(Lee Grossman, Autism Society of America President and CEO)

"Rupert Isaacson has conjured a non-fiction journey that reads like an epic novel. It is a book of endless amazements. The world of Mongolian shamans, the details of adventuresome travel, the mysterious world of autism--all are all amazing. Soon, you realize that the world of horses is mysterious, too--and, yes, amazing. By the time you are in the grip of this book, you'll see love, marriage, and parenthood as a realm of magic, profound power, and further amazements. The Horse Boy can change the way you see your life, and it's a terrifically good read at the same time. It feels like a classic."

(Luis Alberto Urrea, author of The Hummingbird's Daughter and The Devil's Highway)

An exploration - part travel writing, part personal quest - of Africa's oldest and most famous population. The Bushmen have long been mythologized and are firmly entrenched in the Western mind. But what is it about hunter-gatherers that is so attractive us, and why do we need these myths? Fascinated by this disappearing population, Rupert Isaacson has been venturing into the Kalahari since he was a child and his book is a search for this truth about the Bushmen through Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. Part travel writing, part history of the Bushmen, part personal quest, the work records what he found there, the landscapes he travelled through, the wildlife he hunted and ate, the characters, corruption and confusion of a people who have wrenched themselves out of the Stone Age (it wasn't until 1948 that it became illegal to kill Bushmen) into a cash economy over the last decade of the 20th century.
