Rabbits 3: Proper Noun Question Mark

In this episode, we discuss chapters seventeen to twenty-nine of Terry Miles’ Rabbits.This week, we consider K’s role as a narrator and as a protagonist, discuss not one but two possible explanations of what is (metaphysically) going on with Rabbits, flip the script with Chloe, lament the loss of a cinematic classic, and close out the second act. Next week, we continue with chapters thirty to forty-one.Unanswered Questions:Does the book sufficiently reassure the reader that the events of the game are not just in K’s head?Does the rhythmic, episodic structure of the middle of the novel detract from its impact?What are the echoes or reflections between Baron and Sydney? Neil and the Magician? Crow and Scarpio?Footnotes:Rabbits: A Novel (Terry Miles)Rabbits PodcastSerialRichard LinklaterSpace AceSimulation TheoryQuantum Field TheoryBaader-Meinhoff PhenomenonTo support the podcast, join the conversation on Discord and get access to monthly bonus episodes, please visit Patreon.com/NextWord and pledge your support!Stars and Swords: Footnoting Genre Fiction is a Next Word production, written and produced by Alastair Stephens. Copyright © 2024 Stars and Swords.
