Description
"Unmask Alice: LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposter Behind the Worlds Most Notorious Diaries is the true story of a young-adult blockbuster . . . of a terror that stalked 1980s America . . . and of the ruthless charlatan behind both"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
In 1971, the anonymously published Go ask Alice-- the supposed diary of a middle-class addict-- reinvented the young adult genre with a blistering portray of sex, psychosis, and teenage self-destruction. In 1979 Jay's journal- the posthumous memoir of an alleged teenage Satanist-- poisoned whole communities. In reality the two books were written by Beatrice Sparks, a serial con artist who betrayed a grieving family stole a dead boy's memory, and lied her way to the National Book Awards. Emerson explores this true story of contagious deception. -- adapted from jacket
