Alice in Bed
"Alice in Bed" is, not surprisingly, about Alice in bed. Sound sexy? In part, it is, which is very surprising. For though Alice is indeed as sexy as a bright, beautiful, liberated postadolescent can be, the bed she occupies is a hospital bed, where she is visited by a succession of doctors, good, bad, and enormously indifferent to her pain but in several cases extrememly responsive to he charms. Mention should also be made of less than dedicated nurses, splitting parents, weirdo relatives, and a multitude of others all as mystified as Alice is about the mysterious malady that has placed her in this highly compromising position.
