"Lewis Carroll and Aldous Huxley may come to mind, but Rabbits are Strange, When You Are A Stranger claims its own territory as a 21st century masterwork. It is a charmed realm where the creatures most authentic are animals. 'What is Art?' Mia asks. Astro holds forth in 'rabbitish': 'It's a world that is more than a world. It contains all realities. It includes everything from the smallest ant to the biggest maple tree, and everything is interconnected. Art is a giant glowing spider web of opportunities.' Alexander Iskin has created a mosaic of light-infused lyrical prose, a fully imagined and realized world laced with humor and illustrations, where even those charged with pitting an invasive technology against the vulnerable seem redeemable. Fable, allegory, magic realism, fantasy—I hesitate to classify the novel. That's up to you, the reader."
