Lewis Carroll is alive.
At least, he’s fairly certain he is.
He has been a pharaoh, a pauper, a policeman, a performer, a criminal, a woman, a madman, and, regrettably, Joseph Goebbels.
He has lived.
He has died.
He has returned.
He has forgotten.
He has remembered.
And somehow, through it all, he has remained Lewis Carroll.
Now stranded in the twenty-first century, surrounded by a world that has repackaged his creations while largely forgetting the man who created them, Lewis is left wrestling with the most troublesome rabbit hole of all:
Himself.
His memories stretch across civilizations. His imagination refuses to behave. His family thinks he needs help. His doctor has questions.
And Lewis is becoming increasingly convinced that reality might be the least believable story humanity has ever written.
As his present life begins to fracture beneath the weight of all the lives that came before it, Lewis finds himself edging toward something stranger than memory, madness, or reincarnation.
Something waiting at the bottom of the rabbit hole.
Absurd. Provocative. Philosophical. Darkly comic. Defiantly unconventional.
D. David Croot’s Wonderland is a surreal journey through identity, memory, creativity, regret, and the peculiar machinery of being alive.
