Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

"Rabbit" Angstrom has not outgrown his adolescent triumphs as a school-games hero. Stuck with an alcoholic wife, a child, and a futile job in a banal town, he bounces between a despairing wife and a demanding mistress, and anyone - except "Rabbit" - can see where it will end.
