Translated by Shi Jie
People's Literature Publishing House | Nine long readers
Latin American literary geniuses join hands with Spain's National Illustration Award winners, the literary imagination collides with style images, a fascinating literary game, a hunting ground life, but also a dress-up party; a fable, a fairy tale, an epic, and a joke.
"Rabbit Hunting" is a fairy tale for adults, consisting of interrelated story fragments that tell the story of a group of people hunting rabbits in the forest. There are roughly three kinds of characters in the novel, hunter, rabbit, and forest ranger. Hunters hunt rabbits, rangers kill rabbit hunters, and rabbits live forever. The three characters unconsciously swap identities and co-inhabit a labyrinthine forest. The whole story can also be understood as a metaphor for human war and plunder, and it can be interpreted as another. The process of reading is like a game, full of random surprises.
Mario Lebrero is regarded as an indispensable member of Latin American literature of the second half of the twentieth century, influencing Acesar Ella, Alejandro Sambra, Rudolf Fogwell, and other Spanish writers.

All the kindness and tenderness of the world can find the answer here.
