(cover painting, "Malice in Wonderland," by Julie Inman) “Alice
Redux is a potent and heady brew; conveying a surreal and intense
array of atmospheres and phantasmagorical takes on the original
tale, this is a collection by some of the finest and most imaginative
writers around. “Alice--the
hippest girl in Victorian England, the first postmodern heroine--is
back, reflected in the looking-glasses of some of the most imaginative
writers of our day. Many of my favorites are here--Carter, Coover,
Ducornet, Olsen, Sheehan--as well as some intriguing strangers. (And
Nancy Taylor's photographs had me fainting in coils.) The literary --Steven Moore, editor and critic “Drawing their inspiration from the imaginative
feast that is Alice in Wonderland,
these stories are by turns funny, moving, and best of all, startling;
each surprises in its own way, and each allows us to inhabit, for
a little while longer, a world we didn't even realize we missed.” – Carolyn
Parkhurst, author of The Dogs
of Babel
