Noon has now decided to link up with an imaginative precursor by introducing Lewis Carroll's Alice as the protagonist in a new adventure that draws on Carroll's through-the-looking-glass inversions of reality, and adds a Jeff Noon menace and edginess absent from Carroll's Wonderland. Alice finds herself in 1998 Manchester when she enters an old grandfather clock, and soon becomes the prime suspect in the puzzling "Jigsaw Murders." Noon emulates Carroll's crazy wordplay throughout, and even adds his own illustrations inspired by those of John Tenniel, the famous interpreter of Alice. 1344718 1996 Automated Alice total:412|5:77|4:136|3:126|2:62|1:11| 412 1442 552 28 2 0 true false Thu Jun 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 18:49:35 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 13:40:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 1 false false Tue Aug 26 01:25:27 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 01:31:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Apr 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 13:14:41 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 09:54:26 -0700 2009 1 Automated Alice by Jeff Noon is a book I found when Googling "Steampunk fiction" last month. The book is meant to be a trequel (not treacle!) in the Alice In Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass series, in which Alice has another adventure, into the future.
