{"product_id":"9780743245241","title":"The Rabbit Factory","description":"By: Larry Brown     \u003chr\u003eIn an ambitious narrative structure reminiscent of Robert Altman's classic film \u003ci\u003eNashville,\u003c\/i\u003e Larry Brown weaves together the stories of a sprawling cast of eccentric and lovable characters, each embarked on a quest for meaning, fulfillment, and love -- with poignant and uproarious results. \u003cbr\u003e Set in Memphis and North Mississippi, \u003ci\u003eThe Rabbit Factory\u003c\/i\u003e follows the colliding lives of, among others, Arthur, an older, socially ill-at-ease man of considerable wealth married to the much younger Helen, whose desperate need for satisfaction sweeps her into the arms of other men; Eric, who has run away from home thinking his father doesn't want him and becomes Arthur's unlikely surrogate son; and Anjalee, a big-hearted prostitute with her own set of troubles who crashes into the lives of the others like a one-woman hurricane. \u003cbr\u003e Teeming with pitch-perfect creations that include quirky gangsters, colorful locals, seemingly straitlaced professors, and fast-and-loose police officers, Brown's spellbinding and often hilarious story is about the botched choices and missed chances that separate people -- and the tenuous threads of love and coincidence that connect them. With all the subtlety and surprise of life itself, the story turns on a dime from comical to violent to moving. Masterful, profound, and full of spirit, \u003ci\u003eThe Rabbit Factory\u003c\/i\u003e is literary entertainment of the highest order.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46744102109411,"sku":"DTRSSUS-9780743245241","price":144.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/O_75cb4035-e229-47ee-bf32-43b254f41f7f.jpg?v=1750646716","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/9780743245241","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
