Description: "Fforde invokes John le Carr, George Orwell, and Beatrix Potter in this tongue-in-cheek political satire of systemic injustice, bureaucratic corruption, and human foibles. . . . Amid a rapid-fire barrage of literary allusions, Fforde displays his signature quick wit on a furious tour through modern British right-wing politics. Playful, biting, and timely, this is a must-read." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A political satire cloaked in Fforde's trademark bizarre whimsy, the novel reads like a crazed cross between Watership Down and Nineteen Eighty-Four ." -- Eric Brown, The Guardian "Wonderfully absurd. . . . Is there anyone who can write satire quite like Fforde? . . . Brilliant. . . . An astonishingly well-crafted work of social and political satire." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "For all its parallels to real-world issues (race, immigration, vegan fundamentalism), The Constant Rabbit feels a bit more Bojack Horseman than Planet of the Apes , and it's nowhere near as heavy-hoofed as Animal Farm . It's a dystopia, but a cute one." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "This standalone novel from the author of the Thursday Next series is set in England, circa 2022, a country filled with over a million walking, talking, literate, car-driving, human-sized rabbits. The humans have gone so far as to vote the Anti-Rabbit Party into power, but their furry neighbors won't go down without a fight." -- Gizmodo "As he did in Early Riser (2019), Fforde presents a milquetoast cog in an absurdly bureaucratic wheel, this time cleverly skewering Brexit, conservative politics, and white supremacy in this surprisingly uplifting tale of one man doing his best, even if it is the bare minimum." -- Booklist "Fuelled by Fforde's trademark wit, imagination and brilliantly bizarre world-building. . . . You won't read anything quite like this in 2020--or beyond that too." --CultureFly " The Constant Rabbit is Jasper Fforde's most chilling and realistic book yet. . . . Fun and slightly bonkers. . . . Fforde's love of wordplay, cultural references and silliness shines through in every sentence." -- Elizabeth Flux, The Guardian "Wrapped in the author's trademark sense of wry humor and sarcastic wit." -- Library Journal
