Rabbit Hunt

Mario Levrero





























Sonia Pulido (Illustrations)

«We went on a rabbit hunt. It was a well-organized expedition led by an idiot. We had red hats. And shotguns, daggers, machine-guns, cannons and tanks. Others were empty-handed. Laura was naked. Once in the huge forest, the idiot raised his hand and gave the order to disperse. We had a full plan. All the details had been anticipated. There were lone hunters, and there were groups of two, three or fifteen. Altogether we were many, and nobody planned to follow the orders.»


A masterpiece of Uruguayan writer Mario Levrero, who has become an essential benchmark in present-day Latin American literature. The pictures of the prestigious Catalan artist Sonia Pulido make a great trap, devised by rabbits to catch men once and for all, out of this disturbing surrealist hunt.

























«A style and imagination such as Levrero’s are uncommon in literature written in Spanish». Antonio Muñoz Molina
