### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
    Rasanter erster Eindruck
  
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in Germany on 15 July 2023*

Das Buch, in deutscher Übersetzung neu auf dem Markt, hat rasant/frappant hymnische Besprechungen, z.B. eine ganze Seite in "Die ZEIT". Das hat mich neugierig auf das Original gemacht, das ich nun, noch ungelesen, auf dem Schreibtischf habe. Es macht optisch einen originellen künstlicherisch gestalten Eindruck und lädt dadurch einmal mehr zum Lesen ein. Später dann vielleicht mehr zu diesem so sehr mit Lorbeeren bereits dekorierten Debüt-Roman.

    Mostly great
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on 11 December 2022*

Mostly great. Inventive, sharply observed, witty, bold. Cons: the book honestly feels like it consists of something like 80% description/exposition and 15% backstory. Every character gets paragraphs and paragraphs of description, and there are numerous characters. Same for places/setting. This is excellent and fun to read for awhile, but across the book it came to feel exhausting, mainly because it detracts from a reader’s ability to sustain the dream of the story and drop away into the imagined world of the book. An awareness of the author herself, and the cleverness employed in the language of this book, overrode my ability to focus on the characters—I was constantly reminded the characters were being wrung into existence by all that description rather than just getting to know them by following them through action. The book insisted that I keep noticing the author instead, when my favorite books are the ones so seamless and elegant I drop into the fictive world and forget about the author entirely. There also is, in the end, very little present action in this book. I believe that’s why people have a hard time describing it—not because of some of its eccentric elements, but because so little happens. The summary of this book could be: a lot of people, places, and things are described, at LENGTH, using inventive language. Though even that language holds odd reiterations throughout—a repeated stance against vegans, suburbia, patterned wallpaper, and the color beige, among others, including a lot of overstatement/over-thought on the distinction between what is real and what is not—numerous characters struggle with that divide, and it gets to be exhaustive.Lastly, (and be warned, somewhat of a spoiler ahead) I’m bothered by the animal violence as well as the structure and use of violence as the primary engine of this narrative. The “hook” of the book—what the author clearly knowingly employs to grip readers and keep them turning the pages—is the threat and actualization of violence against a young woman. The opening pages of the book trick the reader into thinking something even worse than what actually occurs with blandine will happen at the end, and I feel this is a terrible and ugly bait and switch. For a book that has no hesitation arguing for social justice in a wide variety of areas, those arguments ultimately ring false and empty when the entire narrative—it’s known selling point and propulsive force—is violence against a woman. Can we call this tired theme inventive, after all, regardless of the sparkly language in which it’s described? A brilliant, economically poor, unconventionally beautiful young girl being seduced by an older man is at this point such a reiterated relationship dynamic in celebrated fiction that I'm starting to wonder/worry about what it says about general cultural appetites (see: Luster, Great Circle, Fates and Furies, How Much of These Hills is Gold etc. etc. etc.) What's especially painful about The Rabbit Hutch is that these scenes of sexual violence ultimately have no bearing or effect on the main events of the book, meaning they were completely gratuitous, and that is not the type of writing I like to read.Overall: with more editing and less use of sexual and animal violence as a hook to engage readers (without much point or purpose beyond that function) I would give this great debut the full five stars.
