I don’t often recommend nonfiction, but I wholeheartedly recommend this. Helene Hanff was an American writer in New York in the post-World War II era. She wrote to a London bookstore, looking for classics. This book is a collection of the wonderful correspondence exchanged over the next 20 years. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52850170-84-charing-cross-road

JackWars: We Can End This
“Everybody’s lost kin to the jackalopes, Pearl, but the new weapons can finally end this war: Gatling’s rotary gun, dreadnaught airships, poison gas bombs—”
“Do you hear yourself, Cassia? We aren’t ending this war; we’re just making new ways to kill those beasts.”

JackWars: A Bigger War
“You’re talking about war from the Mississippi to the Rockies. Gods, Cass, what will be left?”
Cassia snorted. “I don’t like it any more than you, but it’s the jackalope’s war. They drove the tribes out of the Plains.”
“So we start a bigger war to end the war?”
