T.C. Boyle's Wild Child
A feral boy, a Venezuelan major league ball player, a cloned dog, and rodents galore populate the pages of T.C. Boyle’s new collection of stories, Wild Child. The author of last year’s The Women explores the murky boundary between humans and animals, raising fundamental questions: Who masters whom? How civilized are we? Do our minds and souls make us human? Or are we merely animals who get caught in traffic jams? Larry Mantle confers with T.C. Boyle.
