Rabbits 2: Manic Pixie Gamgee

In this episode, we discuss chapters four to sixteen of Terry Miles’ Rabbits.This week, we dive into the murky waters of creepypasta, break down the brilliant narrative trick that makes Rabbits work, remember Frodo atop Amon Hen, make a list of everything that is not everything that is not Rabbits, figure out the surprising timeline and K’s age, and celebrate the ancient, arcane magnificence of computers in the 1980s. Next week, we continue with chapters seventeen to twenty-nine.Unanswered Questions:Is there a difference between Rabbits and Connections?How is retribution enacted against those players who talk publicly about the game?What happened to Baron Corduroy?Footnotes:Rabbits: A Novel (Terry Miles)Rabbits PodcastRichard LinklaterTanis PodcastCompulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence (Adrienne Rich)Space AceA Night For Dying TigersKingfisher CafeSteve WozniakCommodore VIC-20Terry Miles’ Rabbits Playlist on SpotifyThe Last Star In HollywoodCreepypasta Footnotes:These links should be approached with caution.
