The review of that book in the NYTimes Book Review on Sept. 10 was by Stephen King, and very interesting indeed. He points out the similarities, as well as the differences, between it and his own *Rose Madder*. He also discusses Alcott's two literary personas - daylight reality (the books we are more familiar with) and midnight fantasies (this and other "alternative" Alcott works. In fact, he mentions two books - *Louisa May Alcott Unmasked: Collected Thrillers,* and *Alternative Alcott,* which are sensation stories. The review and discussion of Alcott's work, her postion as the family breadwinner, and as an articulate feminist is really good. Diane Durbin dianed@tenet.edu On Sat, 30 Dec 1995, Cheryl W.
