Go Ask Alice by Beatrice Sparks
1.0
The title Go Ask Alice is taken from the lyrics of “White Rabbit,” performed by (then) Jefferson Airplane and written by Grace Slick. The song is rife with references to drug use, but also alludes to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.
The earlier versions of this book, which originally appeared in 1971, contained a statement: “Go Ask Alice is based on the actual diary of a fifteen-year-old drug user.” The statement from the editors continued, “It is, however, a highly personal and specific chronicle. Names, dates, places and certain events have been changed in accordance with the wishes of those concerned.”
