"Please your Majesty," said the Knave, "I didn't write it, and they can't prove I did: there's no name signed at the end."

The very name Lewis Carroll is an abstraction: a constructed idea of authorship, with no more permanence than any of the identities Alice contemplates when her body changes beyond what her previous self-definition accommodated. One might claim Lewis Carroll belongs to the domain of avatars, alongside Alice herself. The abstraction (and rejection) of authorship as an absolute comes into focus in the inherently co-created interactive fictions of digital remediations of Alice, as through participating in a text parser or choosing from a list of options the player becomes Alice, offering input not unlike what one imagines the listening Alice Liddell might have given to Charles Dodgson.
