"Bloody Rabbit" explores the fiery hot anger that erupts following an economic crash, and the subsequent rise in nationalism as people lose their jobs. The book sounds like a harbinger of the Trump Era that started in 2016. And yet it was written in 2013, long before Donald Trump became a presidential candidate.
"Bloody Rabbit" offers a glimpse into the roots of Trump's historic victory at the polls - and at the blue collar workers who watched their jobs, livelihood, and sense of optimism get shattered by the lingering impact of the Great Recession, and who ended up looking for someone to listen to and champion them.
It starts in a world familiar to us all: the struggle to cope during an economic downturn. The book slow builds to an even more terrifying situation: the persecution of those who become an angry society's scapegoats.
"Bloody Rabbit" is a tense, haunting and sometimes grotesquely funny look at how quickly social norms crumble when times get tough.
This eerie tale sends readers into a surreal world where people are desperately struggling to find stability, as they cope with a harsh economic anxiety. "Bloody Rabbit" simultaneously mixes the horrific and the comical.
