A darkly satirical reimagining of Lewis Carroll's classic for the modern era. When thirteen-year-old Alice asks a forbidden question in her increasingly ideology-driven middle school, she discovers that curiosity has become a crime. One innocent inquiry: "What is a woman?" sends her tumbling down a rabbit hole into a surreal world where language is violence, identity is fluid, and everyone must constantly apologize for existing. In this twisted Wonderland, Alice encounters: Workshop facilitators who teach students to "unbecome" themselvesA Mad Hatter hosting an eternal tea party of deconstructed realityShape-shifters in a forest where being certain about anything is considered toxicA drag queen ruling over a garden of severed heads that never stop apologizingTribunals where asking questions is prosecuted as thoughtcrimeGuided by a mysterious Cheshire Cat who speaks in riddles about power and performance, Alice must navigate a world where up is problematic, down is relative, and the only acceptable truth is that there is no truth. Perfect for readers who enjoyed: Brave New World by Aldous HuxleyThe Giver by Lois LowryFahrenheit 451 by Ray BradburyAlice in Queerland is a provocative fable about maintaining your identity in a world determined to deconstruct it. Part social commentary, part fantasy adventure, this unflinching satire asks uncomfortable questions about our current cultural moment.
