0 reviewsRabbit Is Rich traces with appalled affection the contours of Rabbit’s maturity: it is about middle-aged spread, physical, mental and (above all) material. Rabbit has never looked a less likely hero for an American epic.
It's 1979 and Rabbit is no longer running. He's walking and beginning to get out of breath. That's OK, though - it gives him the chance to enjoy the wealth that comes with middle age. It's all in place: he's Chief Sales Representative and co-owner of Springer motors; his wife, at home or in the club, is keeping trim; he wears good suits, and the cash is pouring in.

New characters and old populate these scenes from Rabbit’s middle age as he continues to pursue, in his zigzagging fashion, the rainbow of happiness.

You feel that a better-proportioned book is basking and snoozing deep beneath its covers." - Martin Amis, The Observer
