The Wikipedia page for Alene Lee is barely a stub. It positions her solely in relation to men: Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs. It mentions that she was an author but doesn’t list a single one of her works.
Nisi Shawl brings a tremendous prose voice and a careful touch to a fictionalized account of Lee’s story, deftly interweaving magic and tender visions with the hard, bruising realities of her life.
