- More about The Rabbit Between Us
Victor Menzas book "The Rabbit Between Us" explores why rabbits have been a symbol of visitation and how they have become a powerful way of feeling our presence. He examines human nature and how we are undone by separation, and includes surprising allies such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Elizabeth Bowen, Albert Murray, Beatrix Potter, Donald Winnicott, Sterling Stuckey, and Lev Vygotsky. The book also examines what symbols are and how they work, the value of dialect, and the subversive lesson of animal fables.

One morning, as they parted ways, Victor Menzas daughter handed him a bunny postcard. This gift left him pondering the profound significance of rabbits as a symbol of visitation. "How did this gentle creature become such a powerful way of feeling one's presence?" he wondered.
Menza embarked on a philosophical journey to unravel the mystery behind this phenomenon. He delved into philosophy, history, education, art, and his personal musings on everyday uncanny experiences. Through his exploration, Menza reveals why people have long regarded rabbits as their special kin and emblems of love. He examines human nature and the profound impact of separation, both from each other and from our childhood selves.
Surprisingly, allies in these unconventional philosophical wanderings include Ludwig Wittgenstein, Elizabeth Bowen, Albert Murray, Beatrix Potter, Donald Winnicott, Sterling Stuckey, and Lev Vygotsky. Menza explores the nature of symbols and their profound effects on our lives. He examines the value of dialect and the subversive lesson of animal fables. Alongside his thoughts on language learning, memory, and slavery, he finally realized the deep connection he had with Brer Rabbit, from his early days.
Just as the Uncle Remus tales showcased the virtues of the small hero through warm dialogues, The Rabbit Between Us illustrates the abundance of talents and movements that reside within us when we "lean like Socrates did to the Aesop in us." This unique book appeals to any intellectually curious reader, offering a gentle and political exploration of the human-animal bond.
