As you know, my older sister got my The Accursed by Joyce Carol Oates for Christmas a couple years ago, so I wanted to return the favor. Wonderland is about a guy who has a messed up adolescence, and copes with it by becoming a top brain surgeon. In the early 70s it must have been some perfect mesh of literature, edge, and pulp. In the year 2021, it's a fine book. Nothing revolutionary, but you know, good for an Oates Completionist, or anyone who needs a reminder of how good writing is done.
