Review 112: The Sophisticated Savage by Carla Seidl

Review 112: The Sophisticated Savage by Carla Seidl

By Dan Marvin on September 24, 2009

I can guarantee you’ve never read anything like The Sophisticated Savage. Part scholarly essay, part interview, and part soul-baring diary, Carla Seidl weaves a tale that is hard to put down. What you will likely discover is that you end up finding out much more about Seidl than you do about the title character. Whether you end up empathizing with her or shaking your head, you will be right inside her head during a fascinating time in her life.
