Black Alice
by John Sladek, Thom Demijohn, Thomas M. Disch
I don't suppose I knew what I was in for when I picked Black Alice off the stack. A bit of weird Alice in Wonderland set in the Civil Rights era, perhaps?
What I got was so far beyond my expectations. The characters are three dimensional, the prose is rich, and the plot speeds up as the book progresses, building to a fantastic climax.
I'd almost describe it as Alice in Wonderland in the Civil Rights era... in the true crime genre, and directed by Quentin Tarantino.
Brilliant. Unexpected. I am going to sing its praises.
