Summary "Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream" by John Kendrick Bangs is a satirical novel published in the early 20th century, around the years 1906-1907. It serves as a humorous commentary on the political and social issues of its time, particularly focusing on the concept of municipal ownership and the absurdity that can arise from it. The story follows Alice as she navigates a bizarre and comical city called Blunderland, where everything is owned and controlled by the government, leading to a series of outlandish situations. In this whimsical tale, Alice is drawn into a fantastical version of her previous adventures in Wonderland. She encounters familiar characters, such as the Hatter, the March Hare, and the Cheshire Cat, who are now leading a city with peculiar laws and regulations. The narrative unfolds as Alice witnesses the oppressive and ridiculous nature of municipal control over every aspect of life—from teeth and transportation to poetry and even children. The inhabitants of Blunderland hold distorted beliefs about equality and progress, prompting Alice to question the wisdom of their peculiar governance. Ultimately, she finds herself yearning for her real home and reality, culminating in her return from the fantastical escapade. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
