So, does anyone want to discuss the actual work at all? I've finished reading it and am resolutely un-blown away. What I have to work out is whether the elements I don't like are some clever meta-commentary on the nature of pornography and erotica that goes over my head or just badness. I have to say though, that I am not a fan of Melinda Gebbie's artwork in this. All too often it comes over as flat, either that the scene has no depth at all, or if it does, it looks like one of those little boxes you might have made as a child with flat two dimensional characters standing at various distances from the peephole (diorama?). In the otherwise striking image of the Tin Man fucking Dorothy they are both being drawn as directly facing the reader, which would mean that his cock would have to have a rather impressive ninety-degree twist along it. And I know that the images from the stories are in the imaginations of the women, not 'real', but it's much of a piece with the rest of the work.
How old do people think Alice is supposed to be in this? From reading I assumed that she was in her fifties or sixties, but she's drawn to be as old as Wendy, mid-to-late thirties/early-forties, and not much older than Dorothy.
Has anyone got a translation for the German in the last chapter? |
