The Wild One - Paperback

by Bonnie Golightly (Author)

The Wild One by Bonnie Golightly is a 1957 novel about a sensitive, perceptive teenager from a wealthy family-her father dead and her mother a dying alcoholic-who falls in and out of love with older men as she seeks to understand her developing identity. Poignant, funny, and captivating, The Wild One has been compared with Françoise Sagan's Bonjour Tristesse and deserves a new and broader audience.

This edition of The Wild One contains a rare profile of Bonnie Golightly based in part on an extensive interview conducted with her shortly before her death.
