RE: ADSactly Literature: Why is a raven like a writing desk?

Alicia in Wonderland and in Alicia through the mirrorA very interesting and pleasant post, @honeydue. What you present to us puts us before the evidence that Carroll's work, undoubtedly, is directed by two major aspects: illogicity and linguistic play, both converging in the unstable character of meaning. Similar situations can be found both in . Your inquiry, also very playful, by the way, reflects it quite well for the famous question of the Hatter; but we will find the same in the encounters with the Queen, with the Cheshire cat, or with Humpty-Dumpty. These aspects, beyond the anecdotal nature of their narrations, make this work a major contribution to literature and even the philosophy of language. Thank you for your article, and @adsactly for its publication.
