Chronicle Supposing Books Alice in Sunderland

Sunderland! Thirteen hundred years ago it was the greatest center of learning in the whole of Christendom and the very cradle of English consciousness. In the time of Lewis Carroll it was the greatest shipbuilding port in the world. To this city that gave the world the electric light bulb, the stars and stripes, the millennium, the Liberty Ships and the greatest British dragon legend came Carroll in the years preceding his most famous book, Alice in Wonderland, and here are buried the roots of his surreal masterpiece. Enter the famous Edwardian palace of varieties, The Sunderland Empire, for a unique experience: an entertaining and epic meditation on myth, history and storytelling and decide for yourself - does Sunderland really exist?

Crit Based On Books Alice in Sunderland

Beautifully illustrated, imaginative and dazzling, Alice in Sunderland is a first-rate graphic novel with no end to its creativity.

This is my first read of a book in the Graphic Novel style since the Classics Illustrated comics of the 1950s. There is very little fiction in this book. It is a combination of the history of Sunderland, England and one its famous residents, Charles Lutwidge Dodson, best known by is pen name of Lewis Carroll. Oh yes, and a girl named Alice Liddell -- the young girl that Charles (Lewis) used tell stories. When Lewis Carroll finally wrote a story modeled after Alice -- Alice's Adventures Under

This is a strange book. A good book, but strange.Alice in Sunderland is Talbots sprawling paean to his home region of Sunderland, England, with specific attention to its association with Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (better known as Alice in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll). The story takes shape as a surreal stage show being offered for the benefit of a lone, philistine patron, but it is almost impossible to succinctly summarize; it folds in on itself over and over, jumping around chronologically

Dark Horse laid one with Talbot's Alice In Sunderland. I would recommend this book only for series Alice and Carroll enthusiasts because most of the text is a dry recitation of history with different images Photoshopped together into a background. Talbot does try to create 3 versions of himself to tell the "story" behind Carroll's life and Sunderland's ties to history but their interaction seems forced at best. There are a few highlights to the book, such as learning about "The Wasp In A Wig",

...And you thought Alice in Wonderland was a trip!Author Bryan Talbot has given us a mind boggling, eye popping tale of the culminative history of influence on the creation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. From the beginning of history of Sunderland (wood weevils and limestone) to the restoration of the docksides (doors to the future and steps to the past), the audience of the Sunderland Empire theater (audience of one, plus a couple of ghosts) and the reader are randomly informed of the

I should understand this book far better,' said Alice to herself, 'if I started at the beginning again. But how curiously it twists! It's more like a corkscrew than a book! Well, this turn goes to Sunderland, a large northern English city, and this goes straight back to Lewis Carroll! Well then, I'll try it the other way.' And so she did: turning page after page, back and forth, but always coming back to Sunderland or Lewis Carroll. 'It's no use talking about it,' Alice said, looking up at the
