WHY IS LAUREN STEELE BEING FOLLOWED BY A GHOST?
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.
