Crazy Time KATE WILHELM What do a would-ho political cartoonist, a repressed psychotherapist, an adolescent computer hacker, and an Army officer who sees Communists under every bed have in common? They are important characters in Crazy Time, Kate Wilhelm's marvelous new comic novel. It's the story of (among other things) what happens when a Seattle nebbtsh named Daniel Patric Corcoran gets in the way of a freak accident involving a top-secret X-ray laser Corcoran vanishes—temporarily—from all human ken, and when the psychotherapist who saw him go reports the accident, all hell breaks loose. The U S Army—in the person of an officer who is determined not to retire a mere colonel is convinced that the accident proves the existence of a new secret weapon And when Corcoran starts re appearing—after a fashion—here, there, and everywhere, the colonel is equally convinced that Corcoran is a Communist agent whose very existence is a threat to the peace of the western hemisphere. Three piece-suited minions scuttle hither and yon, spying on the innocent witness and her gallery of idiosyncratic colleagues, in a story whose complexity increases both ludicrously and inevitably (reminiscent of a Douglas Adams novel, but with a heart), while Corcoran—not even visible, most of the time—explores the world from a viewpoint seldom offered to the living, and learns a lot about what being, and living, really mean. Crazv Time is a wonderfully funny, suspenseful, and romantic story— and best of all (rarest of all qualities, but only to be expected from Kate Wilhelm), it's an intelligent one. Highly recommended. —Reviewed by Michael E. Stamm. Graduate Student, English ■ Crazy Time Kate Wilhelm $16.95 Hardcover Now available in GENERAL BOOKS
