Our Fall 2011 meeting was again at the marvelous Manhattan campus of the New York Institute of Technology, on Saturday, November 12. Speakers included Morton Cohen on Carroll’s epiphanies; Adriana Peliano, founder of the Lewis Carroll Society of Brazil, on the metamorphosis of Alice in illustrations and art; Alison Gopnik on her discovery of the Iffley Yew and how Dodgson’s real life affected his works; Emily R. Aguilo-Perez on film adaptations; Jeff Menges, editor of Alice Illustrated (coming from Dover in March), on illustrators; and James Fotopoulos, an artist and film-maker who made an avant-garde film called Alice in Wonderland. The meeting agenda is still available.
