In an ambitious narrative structure reminiscent of Robert Altman's
classic film Nashville, Larry Brown weaves together the stories of
a sprawling cast of eccentric and lovable characters, each embarked
on a quest for meaning, fulfillment, and love -- with poignant and
uproarious results. Set in Memphis and North Mississippi, The
Rabbit Factory follows the colliding lives of, among others,
Arthur, an older, socially ill-at-ease man of considerable wealth
married to the much younger Helen, whose desperate need for
satisfaction sweeps her into the arms of other men; Eric, who has
run away from home thinking his father doesn't want him and becomes
Arthur's unlikely surrogate son; and Anjalee, a big-hearted
prostitute with her own set of troubles who crashes into the lives
of the others like a one-woman hurricane. Teeming with
pitch-perfect creations that include quirky gangsters, colorful
locals, seemingly straitlaced professors, and fast-and-loose police
officers, Brown's spellbinding and often hilarious story is about
the botched choices and missed chances that separate people -- and
the tenuous threads of love and coincidence that connect them. With
all the subtlety and surprise of life itself, the story turns on a
dime from comical to violent to moving. Masterful, profound, and
full of spirit, The Rabbit Factory is literary entertainment of the
highest order
