In this episode, we discuss chapters one to three of Terry Miles’ Rabbits.

This week, we begin our discussion of Rabbits by discussing second-person storytelling, the interaction of games and stories, truth and meaning, and how to navigate our mysterious narrator.

Next week, we continue with chapters four to sixteen.

Unanswered Questions:

• What is Rabbits? How is the game is played and the purpose does it serve?
  
  
• Is there anything to be made of the English idiomatic framework associating descent with movement toward truth?
  
  
• Is Alan Scarpio also known as Californiac?
