Why read it?
1 author picked Aliss as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a reimagining of Alice in Wonderland that takes place in a bizarre 90s Montreal parallel world, and it’s every bit as mind-bending and crazy as it sounds. There’s disturbing violence and sexual elements, but somehow, it never felt gimmicky. It’s a coming-of-age story unlike any I’ve ever read, and I’d recommend it to anyone who speaks French.
From Nicolas' list on best mind bending books I’ve ever read.
