About the Book

Set in an unnamed city in Mexico, the nineteen stories in Karen Brennan's deeply moving collection Rabbit in the Moon paint a kaleidoscopic portrait of a particular place and its inhabitants. Using prose that is both lyrical and effortlessly naturalistic, and told from multiple points of view to reflect the wide class, racial, and cultural diversity of the city, Brennan combines profound empathy with sensual details to breathe life into the variety of characters populating her stories; whether they are expats or artists, street hustlers or faded beauty queens, revolutionaries or tourists, all are imbued with a rich humanity. At times funny, at times heartbreaking, and always riveting, the stories in Rabbit in the Moon will resonate long after reading.

Review :
"Deftly structured, these stories resonate like short novels." --Frances Mayes, author of Under the Tuscan Sun, A Place in the World "How extraordinary this book is--dreamy and gritty, restless and free. Like dreams, the Mexico of these stories is a series of fabulations and voices, rendered for us with a poet's utter attention--and like the rabbit in the moon, the stories ask us what can be seen and not seen. A rare and wonderful collection." --Joan Silber, author of Secrets of Happiness "Rabbit in the Moon is extraordinarily moving and often laugh-out-loud funny...it's luminous." --Beth Alvarado, author of Jillian in the Borderlands "Brennan tells a damn good story, compelling, edgy and sometimes dancing on the rim of the mystical. I will be reading and rereading these stories for a long time." --Pamela Uschuk, author of Refugee: New Poems "I've been a serious and devoted fan of Karen Brennan's work for decades." --David Shields, author of Reality Hunger
