What is The Rabbit about?

Reminiscent of the work of American writers J.D. Salinger and Henry Roth, The Rabbit is Ted Lewis's ( Get Carter ) most autobiographical work and an emotionally complex portrait of what it was to come of age in post-war England It is the late 1950s and Victor Graves is an art school student whose father manages a rock quarry not far from their home in Lincolnshire. He is the apple of his mother's eye but Victor's dad thinks his son takes for granted the life he provides and sets him up to work in the quarry, breaking rocks to harvest flint. It is there that the thin, awkward Victor works with a slightly older, stronger Clacker. Tattooed and sinewy, Clacker swings the rock hammer all day and by night kits out in Teddy boy trappings for long bouts of carousing. For Victor he epitomizes masculinity. Yet the always glib Clacker refuses to accept Victor. Desperate to prove himself, the sensitive Victor begins to spend more time in pubs...
