"We truly enjoyed hosting Gregory Maguire. I have to say it was one of our best programs to date. I am still getting patrons coming up to me with high praise for the program. It was the first time we've ever had a standing ovation for an author. It will be hard to beat!

Reviews of After Alice
[Maguire's] playful vocabulary may be Carroll-esque, but his keen wit is
closer to Monty Python, with a fine, unforced sense of play... his
erudition is a joy, his sense of fun infectious.
-- Joe Hill, The New York Times Book Review
Continuing his tradition of rewriting fairy tales with an arch eye and
offbeat point of view, Maguire turns his attention to Lewis Carroll and
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. . . . A brilliant and nicely
off-kilter reading of the children's classic, retrofitted for
grown-ups--and a lot of fun.
-- Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
