Book Description: Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1971. Printer Wrappers. Book Condition: Very Good Plus. Special Advance Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, [1971]. Special Advance Issue. Octavo, 159 pp., printed yellow wraps. With publisher's notice pasted to front cover. Mild rubbing and dustiness, slightly yawning; better than very good. A very scarce review copy of the twice-controversial title. Originally offered as "author anonymous", Go Ask Alice [title taken from the famous line in the Gracie Slick/Jefferson Airplane song White Rabbit, in turn borrowed from on Lewis Caroll's work] was ostensibly the diary of a drug addicted fifteen-year-old girl who died of a drug overdose - whether self-inflicted, accidental, or vengefully slipped to her is left to the reader to guess, since, of course, the diary doesn't say. Immediately controversial and a target of anti-drug censors for decades because of the subject matter, the book also became controversial when it began to be noticed that it didn't, to insiders (teens and drug users) read like an authetic diary of such an alleged victim. The degree of self-reflection and insight, the almost polite angst with, for example, little swearing, and the presence of each and every major [plot-element] disaster that parents fear - her gradual co-opting into heavy drug use from light use by friends, sexual experimentation, then sexual use, then sexual abuse, promiscuity, depression, running away, ostracism by "nice" kids, diversification of drugs experimented with, trying to go "straight" but failing, and committment to a psychiatric ward - were all just too much to accept as reality to any reader who'd "been there". The diary is now generally believed to have been a collaboration of Beatrice Sparks [presented as the "editor"], Linda Glovach and probably others. Whoever was involved in its construction, the book was almost certainly in no way the product of an adolescent mind, or the mind of anyone writing from the heart of addiction. Fascinating for its status as part of the ongoing American drug war, as it stood three quarters of the way through the last century. see more at snopes (dot com). - Jeff Harvey L13 Lyric / White Rabbit: One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small, And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall. And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall, Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call. Call Alice When she was just small. When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low. Go ask Alice I think she'll know. When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead, And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's "off with her head!" Remember what the dormouse said: "Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head". Bookseller Inventory # 000205
