About this audiobook
From hot marital sex to Julia Child's own recipe for the perfect French kiss, Wild Amerika will take you on a hilarious, Darwinist romp through mating, marriage and monogamy. Using the tropes of documentary and her own life story, Schickel stitches together a crazy quilt of dream and experience and satire and longing, taking us from the dawn of humanity to the birth of her own daughter. Erika Schickel is a canary in the coal mine of modern day American womanhood.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Shannon Cochran, Paul Mercier and Erika Schickel.
