Russell Braddon - The Year Of The Angry Rabbit
$85 · Offered by eBay
Braddon delivers a sharp, absurdist political satire in which Australia accidentally becomes a global superpower after developing a hyper‑potent rabbit‑killing serum that proves far more dangerous than intended. When the government weaponises the formula, Australia’s prime minister seizes unprecedented power, triggering international panic, escalating militarism, and spiralling farce. The novel blends dark humour with Cold War anxieties, using outlandish events to expose the fragility of political systems, the vanity of leaders, and the unpredictable consequences of scientific “solutions.”
