( ) I am no stranger to books that might fall into the “disturbing” category. In fact, that is one of the things I look for in my literature- that the author is not afraid to make the reader uncomfortable. This one falls into that category, but also manages a difficult task; the job of conveying how easy it is to make bad decisions while still relaying the humanity and vulnerabilty of people. Obviously drugs are the pivotal influence on the characters in this book, and the author does a very clever job of incorporating the Alice in Wonderland meme. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Eleven-year-old Alice Duncan has a problem: her body is, literally, growing up too fast. Gawky, innocent, and tongue-tied, Alice is taller than her teachers, with long, long legs and a voluptuous chest she refers to it as "The Breasts." One Pill Makes You Smaller brings to life the surreal experience of being a girl--stuck in a woman's body. Dierbeck shoots down the rabbit hole of 1970s misbehavior, combining her modern tale with the fantastic universe of Alice in Wonderland, set in the black-lit, drug-infested art world of Andy Warhol's Manhattan. When Alice is shipped off to a freethinking art camp in North Carolina, she encounters J.D., a sweet-talking adult man who engages her in a dangerous flirtation. This deliciously pop, self-assured debutis an inspired paean to lost innocence. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
