Summary
In THE RABBIT FACTORY, Larry Brown's characters-as in most of his work-are Southern, working class, and desperate. Domino, a pot-dealer, works for a gangster-butcher and finds a dead body in the meat cooler. Aging Arthur's much-younger wife puts a move on Eric, a teenager who works in a pet shop. There's a pit bull named Jada Pickett and a one-legged woman named Miss Muffet. As the plot escalates into murder and violence, Brown's vividly portrayed characters' downward spiral stubbornly refuses to reverse itself.

Dirty Havana Trilogy
by Pedro Juan Gutierrez
Banned in Cuba but celebrated throughout the Spanish-speaking world, this picaresque novel in stories chronicles the misadventures of Pedro Juan, a former Cuban journalist living from hand to mouth in the squalor of contemporary Havana, half disgusted and half fascinated by the depths to which he has sunk. Like the lives of so many of his neighbors in the crumbling, once-elegant apartment houses that line Havana's waterfront, Pedro Juan's days and nights have been reduced by the so-called special times -- the harsh recession that followed the Soviet Union's collapse -- to the struggle of surviving the daily grit through the escapist pursuit of sex. Pedro Juan scrapes by under the shadow of hunger -- all the while observing his lovers and friends, strangers on the street, and their suffering with an unsentimental, mocking, yet sympathetic eye.
Clockers/Movie Tie in
by Richard Price
Author of The Wanderers and three other widely praised novels, and the screenwriter of Sea of Love, Richard Price has now written an electrifying and profoundly affecting novel that puts him in the top rank of American writers. A drug murder pulls a homicide detective deep into the lives of two black brothers in this riveting mystery.
Clockers
by Richard Price
Award-winning author Richard Price offers a viscerally affecting and accomplished portrait of inner-city America. Veteran homicide detective Rocco Klein's passion for the job gave way long ago. His beat is a rough New Jersey neighborhood where the drug murders blur together ... until the day Victor Dunham -- a twenty-year-old with a steady job and a clean record -- confesses to a shooting outside a fast-food joint. It doesn't take long for Rocco's attention to turn to Victor's brother, a street-corner crack dealer named Strike who seems a more likely suspect for the crime. At once an intense mystery, and a revealing study of two men on opposite sides of an unwinnable war, Clockers is a stunningly well-rendered chronicle of modern life on the streets.

THE RABBIT FACTORY
Brown, Larry
New York: Simon & Schuster, 2003. Signed By Author on Title Page. 1st Edition, 1st Printing. HC/DJ. As New, Unread/As New. Larry Brown's idiosyncratic and powerful Southern novels have earned him widespread critical acclaim. Now, in an ambitious narrative structure reminiscent of Robert Altman's classic film Nashville, this "true original" (Chicago Tribune) 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; Domino, an ex-con now involved in the drug trade, who runs afoul of a twisted cop; 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 tells a spellbinding and often hilarious story 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. 352. Fiction, Novel. ( more information) Offered by Bar-Ken Books (United States)
