Wild Life
by Molly Gloss
Review this book!
In 1905, Charlotte Drummond lives a quiet life in Washington State, writing the pulp fiction that was popular at the time. When a little girl--her housekeeper's granddaughter--disappears, Charlotte joins the all-male search party, putting herself in danger not only from the elements but from the men she is working with. She becomes lost in a storm and meets a troop of Bigfoot-like humanoids who shelter her and give her food. By the time Charlotte returns home, her life has been profoundly changed by the encounter, and her writing reflects her new wisdom and a realization of what is truly important. Winner of the 2000 Tiptree Award.

Media Reviews
"Wild Life is both an exercise in wish-fulfillment and a serious meditation on the origins and uses of fiction.... Although it's cast as an adventure, WILD LIFE is really about what it's like to be a novelist and about the uses of fiction as a means of transforming and managing the intractable, often unhappy material of everyday life. A graceful writer with a strong grip on story, Molly Gloss is also a writer with a political agenda. She never lets the reader forget that Charlotte is a woman whose work is circumscribed by her life."
