Synopsis

A Trip Down the Rabbit Hole of America--Winner of Mid-List Press First Novel Award

As a little girl growing up in Squitchit, New York, Leslie Kove doubtless imagined that she and her two siblings would one day marry, have kids, and make ordinary productive lives for themselves. But by 1970, her brother, Peter, has died in Vietnam. Her sister, Susan, a scholarship student at Bennington College in Vermont, has changed her name to Sabra-Sou and dances topless in political demonstrations. And Leslie, a high school senior, has no idea what to say when people ask her what she's going to do with her life: She needs a plan. This first-person tragicomedy begins with Leslie's visit to Bennington in May 1970 and continues over two decades as she journeys through "the rabbit hole"--like a modern-day Alice in the Wonderland that is America. (Originally published in 2001 as winner of Mid-List Press's First Series Award for the novel, this is a revised edition.)

About this title

From the Back Cover:

"You could say that if Holden Caulfield were a couple of years older and a girl he might have written just such a book as Plan Z by Leslie Kove, but you would be wrong. Betsy Robinson has her own sadder and wiser (and, on occasion, very funny) voice, and her own set of priorities. With this prize-winning first novel, a diverse and original new talent has arrived on the literary scene."
-- Marvin Barrett, author of Second Chance and Spare Days
