Alice in Sussex : Mahler after Lewis Carroll & H. C. Artmann Paperback / softback
by Nicolas Mahler
Part of the The German List series
Paperback / softback
Description
A twist on the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland told through Nicolas Mahler's distinctive graphic novel style. Alice is back in Wonderland. Here she meets the White Rabbit, who leads her down into his rabbit hole in search of an illustrated edition of H.
C. Artmann's Frankenstein in Sussex. Over the course of the novel, Alice repeatedly runs into the Rabbit, who quotes freely from other literary works by the likes of Herman Melville and E.
M. Cioran. Unlike in Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice is not traveling the Wonderland we know.
Rather, in Nicolas Mahler's whimsical graphic novel retelling, she is in a house deep beneath the ground.
On subsequent floors, she encounters the famous creations of Lewis Carroll: the Hookah-Smoking Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, and many others.
One after the other, these creatures address the terrors of childhood and youth.
It is only when Alice reaches the ground floor of the house that we arrive at the inevitable climax: face to face with Frankenstein's Monster.
