In this episode, we discuss chapters seventeen to twenty-nine of Terry Miles’ Rabbits.
This week, we consider K’s role as a narrator and as a protagonist, discuss not one but two possible explanations of what is (metaphysically) going on with Rabbits, flip the script with Chloe, lament the loss of a cinematic classic, and close out the second act.
Next week, we continue with chapters thirty to forty-one.

Unanswered Questions:
- Does the book sufficiently reassure the reader that the events of the game are not just in K’s head?
- Does the rhythmic, episodic structure of the middle of the novel detract from its impact?
- What are the echoes or reflections between Baron and Sydney? Neil and the Magician? Crow and Scarpio?
