Unmask Alice: LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposter Behind the World's Most Notorious Diaries by Rick Emerson

4.0

challenging informative reflective sad medium-paced

---

Having read Go Ask Alice as a pre-teen in the 2000’s, Emerson’s account of its origins and reach are fascinating as an adult in the 2020’s. Hearther Mayers blurb sums it up perfectly begging the question: what’s changed and what hasn’t in the last 50 years? Today, distinguishing between fact, fiction, and honoring reality feels impossible, but Emerson encourages us to continue to look deeper about what we think we know.
