Lilli-Bunny is a wonderful mixture of fantasy and truth. Author Bruce Kriger is not afraid of taking on the issues. He explores hiring practices, cultural differences, and the arts. His Lilli-Bunny brings up global warming, and governmental issues like democracy and money reform. Even modern cultural staples like fast food and psychology get attention. Everything in Lilli-Bunny’s world is magical and fascinating. That is not to say that Lilli-Bunny always has an easy time of it. Lilli-Bunny has to deal with all kinds of problems. Lilli-Bunny might be you, but without the dog-eat-dog life, work that sucks, shrimpy wage, abuse and discrimination, burnt porridge, rubber love, clay conscience, spat soul, snotty childhood, wooden toys, finger in the glass of milk in kindergarten (so that your neighbor won't drink it), blots in your copybook, ice cream fallen to the pavement, slaps of schoolmate bullies, Jules Verne ships that set sail without you, pathetic marriage, or pressure of "circumstances" that turned into fully-grown boneheads who smoke in your basement (not just tobacco), dysfunctional family, disrespectful grandchildren, measly old age, early death, solitude in the crowd, and also, of course, the "Major Disappointment of Your Entire Life" (whatever you choose it to be) and other insignificant troubles. Lilli-Bunny might be you if, of course, you add to your life a full scoop of sunny days, a little semolina porridge with raspberry jam, a friendship with a teddy bear, a portion of common sense, a sense of humor, some sharp-toothed satire, a bit of merry laughter, and whole lot of unrestrained laughter with hands swinging and feet stamping on the floor—"Ha! Ha! Ha!". Kriger’s story may be about a Lilli-Bunny and his friends, but all the while we know that it is about our very real world. Kriger is not shy about expressing his views. He is well-informed and passionate.
What is just as important, he is funny. Lilli-Bunny and the characters that live in Lilli-house with him are charming and likeable.Lilli-Bunny is a joy to read and it is hard to put down. In the end, the book boils down to a clear-eyed story based on modern life.
Bruce Kriger is a well known satirical writer, and his books have been published all over the world. Kriger's novel Lilli-Bunny - and the Secret of a Happy Life is an example of an innovative type of satirical writing, which goes beyond the old traditions of the philosophical tale, and bases the story on modern reality.
