Just pure fun. -NPR.orgWhich of us has not had that wonderfully seditious idea: to play hooky for a while from life as we know it? With these words from his foreword, Pico Iyer puts his finger on the exhilaratingly anarchic appeal of The Year of the Hare, a novel in the bestselling tradition of Watership Down, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and Life of Pi.While out on assignment, a journalist hits a hare with his car. This small incident becomes life-changing: he decides to quit his job, leave his wife, sell his possessions, and spend a year wandering the wilds of Finland-with the bunny as his boon companion.What ensues is a series of comic misadventures, as everywhere they go-whether chased up a tree by dogs, or to a formal state dinner, or in pursuit of a bear across the Finnish border with Russia-they leave mayhem (and laughter!) in their wake.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52228190667040,"sku":"NEW0143117920","price":15.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/811IbFmK19L.jpg?v=1787355908","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-year-of-the-hare-a-novel-0143117920","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
