Rabbit at Rest, the delightful last novel in the rabbit sequence, is both comic and moving. Rabbit, now in his middle fifties, is living in a condo in Florida. Nelson and his wife and
children come to stay and disaster ensues; Rabbit has a serious heart attack after a boating attack with his granddaughter and Nelson is discovered to have been embezzling the family firm to
feed his cocaine habit. The resolution of the Angstrom Family’s conflicts is brilliantly described and draws a fascinatingly detailed picture of America at the beginning of the 1990s.
