Publisher's Synopsis
"Wild Child considers how twenty-first-century fiction imagines the decision to reproduce and the ethical challenges of posthumanist parenting. Naomi Morgenstern explores depictions of children and caregivers in extreme situations--from the violence of slavery and sexual captivity to accidental death and global apocalypse--in such works as Toni Morrison's A Mercy, Cormac McCarthy's The Road, and Denis Villeneuve's film Prisoners"--.
