After Alice by Gregory Maguire, the bestselling author of WICKED,
is a wonderful retelling of what happened next after Alice
disappeared down the rabbit hole. An entertaining spin on Lewis
Caroll's classic tale of Alice in Wonderland, this novel will
delight fans of Angela Carter. When Alice fell down the
rabbit-hole, she found Wonderland as rife with inconsistent rules
and abrasive egos as the world she left behind. But how did
Victorian Oxford react to Alice's disappearance? Gregory Maguire
turns his imagination to the question of underworlds, undergrounds,
underpinnings -and understandings old and new, offering an
inventive spin on Carroll's enduring tale. Ada, a friend mentioned
briefly in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, sets out to visit
Alice but, arriving a moment too late, tumbles down the rabbit-hole
herself. Ada brings to Wonderland her own imperfect apprehension of
cause and effect as she embarks on an odyssey to find Alice and
bring her safely home from this surreal world below the world. The
White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat and the bloodthirsty Queen of Hearts
interrupt their mad tea party to suggest a conundrum: if Eurydice
can ever be returned to the arms of Orpheus, or if Lazarus can be
raised from the tomb, perhaps Alice can be returned to life. Either
way, everything that happens next is After Alice.
