About This Item
Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc, 1968. Book Club Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo, cloth, Mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket of Alice and a Black Girl, 235 pages. Sweet dust jacket illustration! Co-authored by Thomas M. Disch--as "Thom Demijohn"--and John T. Sladek. 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.
