Superbly written review of TO PLACE A RABBIT by Chris Fanning in the Picton Gazette: pictongazette.ca/post/rabbit-...

“People have the wrong idea of writing and of time. Writing does not require time. Or more precisely, time is not the limiting factor.” An idea for me to ponder from Madhur Anand’s novel, To Place a Rabbit

Au revoir @umontpellier.bsky.social
Thanks for hosting this collaboration with my lab @uofguelph.bsky.social at your Institute for Advanced Studies (MAK’IT)

Thank you so much to scientist & writer Dr. Stephen Heard for generously reviewing my first novel TO PLACE A RABBIT, which he clarifies is not a novel about science but "the characters happen to be scientists."

The Montpellier Advanced Knowledge Institute on Transitions at @umontpellier.bsky.social will host a workshop I'm leading on predicting tipping points. This workshop will nourish collaborative knowledge and deepen understandings of tipping points through art & science.

Congratulations, Jessica. Great work, and a pleasure working with you.

Writers after Dark: Madhur Anand’s debut novel Alex Trnka reviews “To Place a Rabbit,” an experimental debut novel which follows one scientist’s quest to translate a French novella.

“Rendered in immersive prose that is as slippery as memory itself, To Place a Rabbit is a compelling portrait of a person who, undone by desire and inspiration, obsessively analyzes — and tampers with — the evidence of her past.”

--Literary Review of Canada
