Beloved by children and adults alike for nearly 150 years, Alice’s adventures in Wonderland is a truly iconic piece of literature and a mainstay of fantastical western fiction. Its affect on other forms of art have been no less impressive; movies, television shows, music, comics, radio, animation, artwork, sculpture and even computer games. There are plentiful examples in all media types that either directly reference or allude to the book. There’s even a neurological condition named ‘Alice in Wonderland syndrome’.
Given all that, and a fondness for such nonsense as the book is famous for, my enjoyment of this book was not really surprising.
The next meeting will be at the Woodstock on 07/06/10. The book chosen for discussion was ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ by Gabriel García Márquez.
