Re: And I gotta be contrarian

And where did I say that?

I do not think Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell ever had a sexual relationship. I wouldn't even bet on Alice sharing the attraction for Charles. Yet it's very clear to me that he was attracted to her; albeit I will admit that it's all on circumstantial evidence.

And all of that is very tangential to my point. My point was to recommend a novel (which I remarked that is not a true biography) whose premise is the attraction Charles felt for Alice. (And which leaves it at that - an attraction not acted upon.) A novel. Which I did not write. Which I remark is a novel, not a historically accurate biography. And yet, a novel which I think manages to play pretty well some things which happen sometimes on a pedo's mind regarding his LGFs. To be honest, it's not even flattering to Charles L. Dodgson, and not because of the assumption of pedophilia anyway, but the idea that he was more obsessed about Alice than is healthy. But while historically inaccurate, that idea is very relevant for a study of what being a pedophile means.
