Abstract

Rabbit Stew is a collection of short stories about the characters of Rabbit and Baby Judy and their friends. The stories are set in a post-punk, near-future world parallel to our own. Human society is dystopian. The natural setting has all the force and presence of an, at best, amoral character. The style of the stories, the present tense narration, the shifts in points of view, and the tone of the descriptive writing reflect the impatience, the anger, and the often melodramatic nature of these characters struggling into some form of adulthood in a hostile environment
