The Rabbit Hutch is a stunning debut novel about four teenagers-recently aged out of the state foster-care system-living together in an apartment building in the post-industrial Midwest, exploring the quest for transcendence and the desire for love. ''Gunty writes with a keen, sensitive eye about all manner of intimacies-the kind we build with other people, and the kind we cultivate around ourselves and our tenuous, private aspirations.''-Raven Leilani, best-selling, award-winning author of Luster
