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.
