Description

A fascinating and unconventional life story, Wild Man is an autobiographical account that follows Tobias Schneebaum's journey as he searches for his "wild man" in various cultures around the world. From his early contemplation of homoerotic desire to his experiences living among isolated forest peoples in South America, India, Tibet, Africa, and beyond, this book offers a unique glimpse into a life that was both strange and powerfully attractive. Schneebaum's odyssey takes him to remote regions where few white men had ever been, including headhunters and cannibals. His experiences are both captivating and unsettling, making for a compelling read. This book is a testament to the human desire to explore and understand ourselves and our place in the world. With its blend of social history, anthropology, and personal narrative, Wild Man is a thought-provoking and often disturbing account that challenges readers to confront their own assumptions about culture and identity.
