Black Alice

Book club edition. Gutter code 26M. Clipped dust jacket, now wrapped in Brodart. Clean text block. Written by Thomas Disch and John T. Sladek. Dust jacket by Virginia Fritz. Ostensibly a novel of suspense, this is more importantly the story of an 11-year old heiress who is abducted and disguised as a little black girl. Her transformation from white-to-black serves as a commentary on racial stereotypes. 224 pages.
