HaikuPrajna
Down a rabbit-hole / to the land of consumption. / Shrink, grow, and escape. ("Alice's Adventures in Wonderland")
The script for the second HaikuPrajna Collection is officially out of my hands! Some would say this means that "SM-SARA, Poems and Other Stories" has gone gold (I think I made this joke before). A few more steps until we have a solid release date, aiming for January 2021. Hope to have an official announcement tomorrow, and pre-release material later this week, so please follow this blog to be informed!
Goodreads #MyYearInBooks! Today's book is Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". I have been familiar with this story my whole life, but this was my first time reading the book. The nonsense of plot elements masks a curious depth of excessive meaning. I believe the way the reader interprets the logic and word play is what is important with this story, rather than what Carroll or anyone else thought. Alice's interpretations and experiences are just as subjective as the reader's. That is what I like about "Wonderland", it is almost a stimulus test in the form of a whimsical-yet-cutthroat short story.
