<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Set in Memphis, "The Rabbit Factory" brings together a sprawling cast of eccentric and lovable rapscallions on a quest for meaning and fulfillment--with poignant and uproarious results.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In an ambitious narrative structure reminiscent of Robert Altman's classic film <i>Nashville, </i> 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. <br> Set in Memphis and North Mississippi, <i>The Rabbit Factory</i> 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. <br> 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, <i>The Rabbit Factory</i> is literary entertainment of the highest order<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Jeff Kunerth, <i>The Orlando Sentinel</i> A compelling tale of ordinary men and women trying to find each other through the smoke, booze, and lust.<br><br>John Freeman, <i>The Atlanta Journal-Constitution</i> [H]is most entertaining book...This sexy novel goes down as easy as a six-pack in the hot days of summer.<br>
