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" themselves - A Mad Hatter hosting an eternal tea party of deconstructed reality - Shape-shifters in a forest where being certain about anything is considered toxic - A drag queen ruling over a garden of severed heads that never stop apologizing - Tribunals where asking questions is prosecuted as thoughtcrime Guided 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 Huxley - The Giver by Lois Lowry - Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Alice 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.
