CENTURY AMERICA SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF THE UNFORGETTABLE BLANDINE Winner of the
Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize 2022 * Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction 2022
'Inventive heartbreaking and acutely funny' Observer Vacca Vale Indiana: recently voted
number 1 on Newsweek 's list of dying American cities. According to the developers however
it's a city with a whole history of reinvention one that 'buzzes with the American spirit.'
Not everyone agrees though - certainly not the residents of the Rabbit Hutch a low-cost
housing complex in the once bustling industrial centre populated by a cast of unforgettable
disenfranchised characters. There's an online obituary writer a woman waging a solo campaign
against rodents and most notably eighteen-year-old Blandine recently released from foster
care and determined to stop the developers whatever the cost. Set over one sweltering week
in July The Rabbit Hutch is a savagely beautiful and bitingly funny snapshot of contemporary
America. Bold experimental and brilliantly written it will live in the memory long after the
final page. A Waterstones Book of the Year for 2022 ' The Rabbit Hutch is 2022's The
