Every now and again the opinion is aired in the French literary press that
Carroll was far too intelligent to be English. . . Deleuze was writing The
Logic of Sense in the middle of a Carroll boom in France due to Sylvie and
Bruno being translated for the first time.
Sylvie and Bruno works for me - the Gardener: I thought I saw an elephant
play upon the fife / I looked again and saw it was a letter from my wife....

Works for me - although Deleuze, rather than Badiou, is probably the
go-to guy for continental musings on Lewis Carroll...
