contraband_donut 's review for:

The Hare by César Aira
5.0

Ok, smarter people will see how this book ends once Clark, our English main character, tells his story a hundred pages in, but I didn't see the ending. So sue me.

The book is part Graham Greene, part epic quest, and part E. M. Forster. Our main hero, Clark, an English naturalist, gets roped into giving chase to someone who either has run away, been kidnapped, or just up and disappeared. There is numerous religious symbols, plenty of ruminations, and a lot of Graham Greene's version of "Stranger in a Strange Land."

There is a section near the end that my interest waned, but the end, that I probably should have seen coming, saved it, big time, for me.

Highly recommended.
