Rabbit in the Moon

"Set in an unnamed city in Mexico, these nineteen stories in award-winning author Karen Brennan's latest collection, Rabbit in the Moon, reveal startling truths surrounding the varied expat and native inhabitants of a city distinguished by wide class divides, as well as a rich racial and cultural diversity. In her lyrical and naturalistic style, lush with sensual details of this south of the border retreat, Brennan instills deep empathy to the array of characters with whom she populates her stories; whether expats, artists, street hustlers, faded beauty queens, revolutionaries or wide-eyed tourists, all are imbued with a rich humanity as they strive to recoup their losses and shattered selves. At a time when so many are looking for an escape to a remote tropical haven, these at times humorous, at times heartbreaking, and always riveting tales in Rabbit in the Moon will resonate with readers everywhere"--
