Typehouse Literary Magazine, a literary journal based in Portland, Oregon, just published Storey Clayton’s new essay “To See a Rabbit.” This is his first published nonfiction work about something besides driving for Uber! His eighth literary magazine publication since October, this essay discusses Storey’s early 2019 visit to the real Watership Down in the context of a childhood spent watching the animated movie, reading the epic novel, and raising rabbits on the Oregon coast.
A PDF of the entire literary magazine can be read online here (“To See a Rabbit” begins on page 92). You can also purchase a print version of the magazine for $12 here. The print version is also for sale at Powell’s Books in Portland, which is Storey’s all-time favorite bookstore.
Special thanks to Val Gryphin and their team of editors at Typehouse for selecting this work, as well as to Paulette Clayton and the Spring 2019 Nonfiction Workshop at WVU for serving as first readers of this essay!
