Like Alice, she is both alarmed and enraptured by what she finds. Her first stunted blade of grass delights her. She sits entranced for hours, watching oily, scum-covered waves lapping at a blackened shore. The whole world-a hideous desert of slag heaps, ashpits, garbage, swamping flies and choking, poisonous vapors-holds for her an absorbing and mysterious fascination. Even the contaminated sea is infinitely...
