Clarke, a nineteenth-century English naturalist, roams the pampas
in search of that most elusive and rare animal: the Legibrerian
hare, whose defining quality seems to be its ability to fly. The
local Indians, pointing skyward, report recent sightings of the
hare but then ask Clarke to help them search for their missing
chief as well. On further investigation Clarke finds more than
meets the eye:in the Mapuche and Voroga languages every word has at
least two meanings.Witty, very ironic, and with all the usual
Airian digressive magic, The Hare offers subtle reflections on
love, Victorian-era colonialism, and the many ambiguities of
language.
