The Antilepus Journal by Elsi Vassdal Ellis

A call came from Vilnius, Lithuania, for a triennial book show. The theme was "Rabbit and House." I was teaching an Honors course combining Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose with the transformation of a traditional term paper into a bound manuscript. We had been discussing heresy throughout the quarter and I thought it was time for me to do "my part" to create a heretical gospel: The Gospel of Rabbit from the House of Haresy. It proved difficult to write a lengthy, cogent gospel so I stepped back and created a hunter of the Antilepus [Antirabbit aka Antichrist] and his journal. The Antilepus hunter and his friend Howard begin their travels by taking a road trip through the English countryside in search of three-hare motifs placed on the ceilings of medieval churches. They do not see who is following them but there is evidence everywhere they are being carefully watched. Somewhere in Eastern Europe they discover the remains of a monastery outside Salvemec and Howard disappears. Portion
