Description:
The marvelous whimsy of Alice in Wonderland masked unsparing revelations about the uncertainty of identity and impossibility of truly grasping reality--philosophical themes that biographers have dealt with far more comfortably than the now-famous fondness for little girls displayed by the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-98). This is certainly not true of British novelist and biographer Donald Thomas, who positively revels in the less savory interests of his subject, from prostitution to lunatic asylums. Nonetheless, this enjoyably gossipy volume renders the repressed Oxford lecturer, who took "Lewis Carroll" as his pen name, a curiously appealing figure.
