From the multi-award-winning poet and scholar Steve McCaffery comes Alice in Plunderland<\/em>, a reimagining of Lewis Carroll\u2019s Alice books that will forever change the way readers negotiate Wonderland and its menagerie of characters. Here Alice and all her cohorts become infused with characteristics related to the notion of \u201cplunder\u201d\u2014theft, drug addiction, looting, and civil disorder. Instilled with humour, intelligence, and more than a little bit of absurdity, this retelling of Alice\u2019s adventures takes place somewhere other than expected. In the rough-and-tumble world of Plunderland, where theft, drugs, and gangs hold sway, and nary a tea party is to be found, the Cheshire Cat is a junkie from the UK; the King and Queen reign over the land of Cocaine; even Alice\u2019s adventures are transformed in her quest for a fix.<\/p>\n Clelia Scala\u2019s translated collages beautifully annotate McCaffery\u2019s renewed vision of Wonderland. Just as McCaffery has plundered Carroll\u2019s original text, Scala uses John Tenniel\u2019s original and iconic artwork to create a new look for the world of Alice\u2019s Plunderland.<\/p>\n ABOUT THE BOOK<\/strong>![\"\"](\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Alice_with_the_aunts.jpg\")
