SynopsisWritten with the same manic originality that made David Bowman's Let the Dog Drive a cult hit in 1992, Bunny Modern is an exuberant, surreal excursion through a future New York where electricity has failed and fertility has waned -- but human passions are as unpredictable as ever.Our heroine is Clare, a ninja nanny -- a cool killer who packs a Glock and protects babies from infertile kidnappers desperate to get their hands on a child. Clare, like all in her trade, has undergone aversion therapy to prevent her from ever bonding with a baby. But despite all her training, Clare finds herself unable to resist the charms of her latest charge, an infinitely lovable baby named Soda -- even when she ups her dose of Vengeance, the nannies' drug of choice.Bunny Modern is the strange saga of Clare and Soda -- as narrated by Dylan, an investigator who's in love with Clare and trying to find a connection between Soda, his bizarre parents, and the great disappearance of electricity years earlier. Seamlessly interweaving elements of the hard-boiled thriller with mind-bending inventions and hallucinogenic flourishes that are all his own, David Bowman has written a novel that is mesmerizing, hilarious, and utterly original.
