Lewis Carroll

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was a lecturer in mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford. He wrote under the pen name Lewis Carroll — and the gap between those two identities is part of what makes his fiction so strange.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865, reads like a fever dream governed by inverted logic. Wonderland is a place where rules exist but make no sense, where authority figures are cruel and arbitrary, and where Alice — the only sane person in the room — is constantly made to feel that she is the problem. It is a dark fairytale dressed as a children's story.

His work is published on MekarBooks through Glimmr Tales — indie digital editions in English, and in Indonesian translation by Arrianne Jati.
