Description:What does a father owe a son and a son a father? How can a marriage survive adultery? Is pacifism feasible? Is fame any good? How much does winning matter? How do you shake a Soviet agent whos trying to ruin you and your family?Before Gregory Wilkin finishes dealing with such questions, something unusual happens in his venturesome first novel, The Rabbits Suffering Changes. It turns from biographical fiction, a kind of homage to Evelyn Waugh (Wilkin gives him a bit part), into something like gonzo journalism (a seeming homage to David Foster Wallace), both halves combining to tell the largely unknown true story of Bunny Austin, the last British manuntil Murray in 2012to play in the finals of Wimbledon. Bunnys plunge into obscurity in the late thirties, after reaching worldwide fame and marrying a famous actress, was something he chose himself, giving up his tennis careerjust when he was finally the favorite to win Wimbledonto work for an obscure interfaith NGO called Moral Re-Armament. Wilkins novel brings the reader this experience of conversion, reaching out for a new level of honesty, for thats what Bunny did and thats what he hoped for from his loved ones, with dramatically mixed results.I was engrossed and enchanted by THE RABBIT'S SUFFERING CHANGES. I particularly loved theform, that restless shifting of perspective in an attemptto tease out the 'truth' about this complex man's complex life.I knew a little about him, but this book - straddling fact and fiction soartfully - brought me closer to an understanding of the man, not just thetennis player.A terrific read.-Caryl Phillips, Winner of theCommonwealth Writers BestBook for A Distant ShoreWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
