Saving Soull Synopsis In the spirit of a tragic fairy tale, Saving Soull is written in surreal, story book fashion. The characters are representations of a social services system that has become mechanical in its responses and medieval in its view of the human experience. Ego, surface efficiency, and power are the primary aspects of this pseudo world and Jimmy Soull is the victim of its insane disconnect from what is natural Jimmy Soull's passage through this bizarre world is told by his therapist who is also a character in the tale. The reader is moved back and forth from Jimmy's story and the ongoing inner dialogue of the storyteller. She too becomes a victim of the circumstances of his case but only after her encounter with Jimmy does she change her thinking and become enlightened. She is forever changed in her perspective and approach while the absurdity of the human services system is revealed in her insightful narration. Saving Soull is current and necessary as our culture and social systems root themselves further and further into our lives.
