Originally published in 1962 and updated in laterdecades with a new introduction, EllisonWonderland contains sixteen masterful stories through the author’s earlycareer. This collection displays a vibrant youthful writer using a wide-rangingimagination, ferocious creative energy, devastating wit, and an vision for thewonderful and terrifying and tragic. Among the gems are “All of the Seems ofFear,” “The Sky Is certainly Burning up,” “The Very Last Time of a Good Girl,” and “InLonely Lands.” Though they stand tall on their own merits, in addition they point theway to the sublime tales that followed immediately after and continue steadily to come evennow, more than fifty years later.
