CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH REVIEW*
(* entertainment purposes only)

1984 v. The Annotated Alice

Exterior shot: a pristine and stately government building which looks out-of-place in an otherwise economically depressed city, in an underdeveloped tropical country.

Interior shot: a very luxuriously-appointed office, where a late middle aged executive (EX), O’Brien (OB) and the Queen of Hearts (QH) all sit in fine leather chairs around a mahogany table.

The annotations to the text are often quite interesting if somewhat intrusive; I found it best to read all of them for a chapter before beginning to read the chapter itself, having them then in my knowledge base without having to be interrupted from the flow of the story. I enjoying all the punning. I had not realized that the songs were all parodies of existing songs of the time when Carroll wrote the book; the annotations contain the original lyrics. As I moved through the book, I found that many episodes are very familiar and in fact have become the stuff of everyday allusions in our culture, whereas other episodes have been, by me at least, long forgotten. The story is extremely picaresque, with occasional characters reappearing in subsequent episodes and some themes, eg changes in size, being more or less continuous. The original John Tenniel illustrations are priceless.

I enjoyed the extended annotations on the chess game and “Jabberwocky.” The entire book is unbelievably clever and often very droll. How much of this can be appreciated by children? Only a fraction, to be sure. The book deserves to be reread in adulthood, perhaps even at different adult ages. Too often, I think, all that people associate with the work is the limited amount of material included in the Disney movie which, while entertaining in itself, is far less rich than the book (as is usually the case with movie adaptations of literature). Carroll had a vivid and engaging imagination, and we are the lucky recipients of its products.

Through the Looking Glass is much more deep and dense than the first book, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, filled as it is with metalinguistic speculations and puzzles, logic and mathematics, all within the context of an extended gigantic chess game. Gardner, in his annotations, charmingly discusses not only the origins of much of the material but also the use of Carroll’s material in subsequent literature.

What a treat it has been to reread this delightful work, especially in the annotated version. I think that this process of refreshing my knowledge of it will enable me to recognize allusions to it in my further reading.

REVIEW FOR CELEBRITY DEATH MATCH ONLY

Alice, who doesn't want to get her petticoats dirty, is idly chewing on a magic mushroom and looks quite tall for her tender years; she is waiting patiently for her opponent in direct contrast to a white rabbit who is chagrined at the wasting time. A screech of tires announces ~~Pippi~~ Lisbeth arrival on a Harley (sweet!); she bends down to fill her hands with mud and proceeds to smear it over her barely clad tattooed form.

I don't think I would have half the appreciation I now do for Lewis Carroll if it weren't for the annotations accompanying this edition of the text. Besides the grunt work of explaining Victorian terms and concepts now outdated (look up bathing machines for the example I found most strange), the annotations shed on light on the emotional dimension to the books, which seems like an absurd idea at first glance given that they're nonsense tales. But Lewis Carroll adored Alice Liddell -- innocently ...more

I discovered recently that Will Self wrote a rather disparaging review of this edition, his objection being that Martin Gardner resolutely avoids any psychosexual or psychoanalytic reading of Lewis Carroll himself or of his Alice works in this volume. (I discovered it because the review is currently one of only two external links in the book's Wikipedia entry.) The criticism is valid but not a sufficient reason to condemn Gardner's work. Perhaps any annotation is a form of criticism, and the not...more

Setting: a wooded park on the outskirts of London, Airstrip One, Oceania.

George Orwell (GO) is sitting on a blanket in the sun, wearing the drab gray jumpsuit of an Outer Party member. He rises to greet his companion, Lewis Carroll (LC), who is strolling across the grass to meet him.

Holy hell, I must own about 21-25 copies of Alice in Wonderland and/or Through the Looking-Glass. This story FASCINATES me, mostly I think because there is more than a little crazy to it. I like thinking of these stories akin to a fantasy romp through an insane asylum. I would even go so far as to say that my interest in (and eventual decision to make a career out of) psychology stems from my early fascination with these stories.

This book is the classic story of Alice In Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass annotated with lots of annotations that explains many of the allusions that may be missed by a casual reader not familiar with the British society of Lewis Carroll's time.

The annotations are very interesting and provide good information about the text that help with a deeper understanding.

I read this book because I like Alice in Wonderland and wanted to learn more.

I would definitely recommend the Annotated Alice for anyone as lost as I was by the nonsense humor of Carroll. The book does an excellent job of explaining many of the references to outdated poems, songs and theories that Carroll parodies that are lost on modern audiences. However, the explanations at times can be exceedingly lengthy and uninteresting. To a casual (and sadly, indifferent) reader such as myself, it was quite shocking to learn that Carroll scholars actually argue about things lik...more

The first thing we have to realize is that neither Alice in Wonderland nor Through the Looking Glass hold some amazing genius or the Answer to Life. They are fairy tales, told to/written for children, no more, no less. They are actually peeks into the mind of Lewis Carroll, who in the final analysis was strange. No, scratch that--he was truly weird, and almost scary geeky. The organizations that have sprung up around the books are not called, for example, the Lewis Carroll Society for nothing. T...more

It was Gardner who first decoded many of the mathematical riddles and wordplay that lay ingeniously embedded in Carroll's two classic stories, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. This edition is illustrated with John Tenniel's classic, beloved art - along with many recently discovered pencil sketches. There is also a filmography of Alice-related films by Carroll scholar David Schaefer.

I first read Alice in Wonderland as a child and still have the old copy with John Tenniel's illustrations passed down from my father. I was told once that I looked like the Alice in those illustrations, and indeed I still do, with my long hair and headbands. I have also long identified myself with her curiosity, stoicism, and pragmatism. She is the quintessential "scholar" archetype. (Those of you familiar with the Michael Teachings will recognize those terms. I am a scholar in growth, with perseverance, and pragmatism sliding to the stoic/spiritualist axis. In a group channeling exploring what cartoon characters most fit ourselves, Michael agreed that I was indeed "Alice.") I also have a "thing" for rabbits.

As it happened, I hosted our bookclub this month for our selection, Alice in Wonderland. I had great fun planning the table decorations which included a dormouse in a teapot. It had been many years since I had read it, and several in the group had never read it at all, having only seen a film version. The Annotated Alice provided much enlightening information about Lewis Carroll and his relationship with the original Alice - Alice Pleasance Liddell. I went on and read Through the Looking Glass which is much less familiar to me. The notes were even more extensive for this text. A child would enjoy the fantasy and nonsense aspects of the story, but as an adult I appreciated learning all of the underlying nuances behind it.(less)

The 'Alice' books themselves are marvellous, but we knew that already. The annotations are disappointing.

Those that explain topical allusions that would have been obvious to Carroll's contemporaries, or at least to Alice Liddell and other close friends, are welcome, but at times I felt Gardner was straining to find allusions where there probably weren't any. Other notes impart no extrinsic information but draw attention to features of the text or the illustrations, and these range from the interesting, by way of the unconvincing, to the bleeding obvious.

Gardner several times explicitly distanced himself from psychoanalytic approaches to literature but at the same time feels free to speculate a great deal about what Carroll intended and what was going on in his mind when he wrote various passages. Many of the notes on 'Through the looking glass' try to explain everything by reference to chess, which I found reductive and tiresome. And I was particularly unimpressed by Gardner's tendency to use Carroll's text as a jumping-off point for lengthy discussions of mathematical and scientific matters of very little immediate relevance. It isn't that there's nothing interesting about the possible molecular structure of looking-glass milk or exactly which species of mushroom the caterpillar may be sitting on, but the inclusion of things like this, while there is absolutely nothing in the notes about the prosody, gender politics, psychodrama, plot structure, geography, literary context, &c. of the books, shows that Gardner is making no real effort to cater for readers who may have interests different from his own.

Notes aside, there is worthwhile material here such as Tenniel's pencil sketches, a bibliography, and a passage that was removed from 'Looking glass' at a late stage and was only rediscovered in 1974. And of course there's the full text of the books themselves, with Tenniel's illustrations. If you haven't already got an edition of the Alice books and you want one, you might as well get this one and have the notes and extra material too; but if your edition lacks Gardner's notes, you aren't missing a great deal.(less)

The clever dialogue was virtually nonexistent, and the movie plot was nonexistent in the book. There was no slaying of the Gryphon by anyone in the book and this was the main storyline and the climax of the movie.

I decided to take another look at the two Alice books, this time with Martin Gardner’s notes. I forgot much of Alice and Wonderland, and almost all of Through the Looking Glass (I couldn’t even remember the chess background story). The movie seemed to pull from both, but just a little (there was an Alice, a Mad Hatter, a White Rabbit and soldiers). The commentary by Gardner was interesting, but I began to wonder if much of it was data mining, not so much by Gardner but by the comments of others which Gardner relayed. I guess even if Lewis Caroll didn’t intend what others are reading into the story, the speculation is still interesting, although I enjoyed the story more than the comments which I thought were too many and too distracting. Some footnotes of a word or phrase went on for pages and I think the comments were longer than the two stories. The most informative commentary was an apology of Caroll’s interest in Alice and other young girls. I thought he sounded a little creepy, but Caroll fans seem to have convinced themselves he was innocent of any immoral behavior toward them. Cliff Notes are probably better if you just want to understand the symbolism in the books.

One thing for certain; if you want to know what happened in Alice in Wonderland, don’t see the latest movie. Even the most speculative of Gardner’s comments don’t even come close to the total fabrications in the movie.

Alice in Wonderland was worth reading again. Through the Looking Glass is worth reading once. The Annotated Alice is worth reading, but only if you’re a huge Caroll fan. The new Alice in Wonderland movie is worth seeing if you bring your young daughter or granddaughter, as long as you know it is not based on the book. The way Alice is empowered in the movie is a good story for young girls.

Now that I've read both Alice books and found out for myself what they're really like, I have a clearer picture of what other versions get wrong and what I've been missing all these years.

Yes, much of the happenings in the Alice books seem to be hallucinations. A baby turning into a pig? A queen turning into a sheep and a shop turning into a river and then back into a shop? A leg of veal getting up and speaking? Really weird stuff, man. But, really, aren't many children's books weird? What adults call hallucinations, children call magic, and the Alice books are full of magic.

The overall tone of the story in both novels is that of being a child in a strange world full of adults. Characters in the book are constantly bossing Alice around, correcting her, arguing with her, and frustrating her. This must be exactly what it's like for some children, especially Victorian children in a world not meant for them. The first book has many talking animals. The Tenniel illustrations make the story all the more strange, because he drew animals that look like animals. Not human-looking animals like in the Disney movies or other adaptations, but real-looking animals that talk and interact with Alice.

I found a great deal to like in the Alice books aside from all the magic. Adults can enjoy the wordplay, philosophy and logic puzzles that Carroll sprinkled throughout the pages. There is an endless supply of puns, double meanings and other forms of wordplay for people to enjoy and analyze. There are also many poems and songs in the books, many of them parodies of other poems. These are much more than simple children's stories.

Overall, I enjoyed Through The Looking Glass more than Adventures in Wonderland. Looking Glass has an actual theme (a game of chess), and much more random goings-on. Also, for a viewer of the Disney version, much of the story is new and unfamiliar. I also liked the way Carroll played around with the concept of opposites, doing things backward and mirror images.

The Definitive Annotated version is good, but the annotations can get boring at times. I would recommend reading the books first, then reading the annotated version. Reading it like I did, with the text and annotations combined, slows and interrupts the experience. That said, there are definitely good insights into the book in the annotations, although perhaps not as many "aha!" revelations as one would like.

I'm very glad that I was finally able to read the Alice books. I probably gained something from waiting so long in my life to read them. Or did I? Would it have been better to read these stories as a child? They were written for children, after all. No matter, anyone can enjoy these books no matter what his or her age. (less)
