    This "absurdist re-imagining of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass" is an exercise in redundancy. Lewis Carroll's Alice stories are already episodic, hallucinatory, and tedious, but In the Wabe, by Aaron Allshouse, stretches them past the breaking point with two Alices, long runs of nonsense, further plot fragmentation, and an interspecies—though homosexual—kiss that ends in murder. It out-Carrolls Carroll and it doesn't work.
