DARKLY HILARIOUS AND SEARINGLY RELEVANT, THE RABBIT HUTCH IS A POWERFUL PORTRAIT OF 21st CENTURY AMERICA, SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF THE UNFORGETTABLE BLANDINE Winner of the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize 2022 * Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction 2022 \'Inventive, heartbreaking and acutely funny\' Observer Vacca Vale, Indiana: recently voted number 1 on Newsweek\'s list of dying American cities.
According to the developers, however, it\'s a city with a whole history of reinvention, one that \'buzzes with the American spirit.\' Not everyone agrees though - certainly not the residents of the Rabbit Hutch, a low-cost housing complex in the once bustling industrial centre, populated by a cast of unforgettable, disenfranchised characters.
There\'s an online obituary writer, a woman waging a solo campaign against rodents and, most notably, eighteen-year-old Blandine, recently released from foster care and determined to stop the developers whatever the cost. Set over one sweltering week in July, The Rabbit Hutch is a savagely beautiful and bitingly funny snapshot of contemporary America.
