Jeff Noon's previous novels, Vurt and Pollen, have attracted a cult following with their psychedelic science fiction creation of the realm of "Vurt"--a region defined by illusion, dream and drug-induced fantasy. 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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Asimov's Science Fiction
Noon has taken the trouble to pack every page of his surprisingly linear story with more than enough puzzles and gags to keep the wise child in all of us amused. And with the aid of superb illustrations by Harry Trumbore--a perfect blend of Tenniel, Mad magazine, Jules Feiffer, and Maurice Sendak--this book proves worthy to sit Humpty Dumpty-like alongside Carroll's classics. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
