About this deal

I jump. Jonah. Standing beside me, leafing through his mailbox, smiling his Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind smile.

Do you still have questions? If you haven’t figured it out, there’s one more twist: Samantha is schizophrenic. Coupled with her vivid imagination – which may be hallucinations – pathological lying, and how whenever the Bunnies feed her pills, her hallucination of Ava disappears – it all adds up. In chapter twenty-six, there was an old woman on the bus that recites all the symptoms of said disease, and at that point, Samantha already displays all of it. So, with this revelation, it's safe to say that she is an unreliable narrator.Although the narrator keeps insisting that she is 'different' (aka the only 'big' difference between her and the bunnies is her finances) she falls prey to this clique. Personally, I don't think the story provides with a convincing reason for the MC to fall in with these girls. Even when the Mc sees their most secretive activities...it seemed that she stayed with them out of laziness (or merely as a way to further the plot).

Manipulative Bastard: Max, who manages to psychologically – and later physically – torment the Bunnies because of Samantha’s feelings towards them. First off, Samantha is unfathomably judgmental to the Bunnies, until she is officially inducted into their ranks. The Bunnies are always cooing and coddling each other, all the while saying nasty and judgmental things sugarcoated as suggestions or whatever. So, you know, there's that. I thought this story was going to be about rising above all that and be a feminist piece but NOPE! You want to know what unravels their little friend group? Throughout the book, there are mentions of a man called Lion, and another called Jonah. The former used to be a love interest of Samantha, but they faded away after a while; the latter is a friendly acquaintance. Yes, I did not make explicit mentions, but they didn’t fit the summary without complicating my already-complicated ramblings. Arts & Sciences: People: Faculty: Mona Awad".

Customer reviews

I stand here, I sway here, full of tepid sparkling and animal livers and whatever hard alcohol Ava keeps pouring from her Drink Me ask into my plastic cup. “What’s in this again?” I ask. Blending sharp satire with fairytale horror, Bunny provides a hilarious look at the dark side of female friendship from one of fiction's most original voices.

A dark, twisted novel that sharply interrogates women’s relationships to one another and to art, academia, and class—it’s the kind of book that leaves a taste in your mouth, the taste of blood. Who knew that would taste so good?”— Nylon But this fury will be directed to Samantha too, as the four women realised whose little Hybrid was behind this feat, and whose owner they have to repay. While they plotted, Samantha attempts to tell Ava the truth about Max; how she made him from a bunny. Keyword: attempt. Ava, incredulous, thought of it as a joke and eventually, Samantha brushes it off as a story plot she was working on. Awad desires for her stories to provide readers with "a sense of connection" so that "people [may] feel less alone." [10] This evening, all I have done in terms of socializing is half smile at the one the Bunnies call Psycho Jonah, my social equivalent among the poets, who is standing alone by the punch, smiling beatifically in his own antidepressant‐fueled fever dream. There are those bizarre and experimental books that manage to be entertaining, transgressive, and on occasion even thought-provoking. And then, there are books like Bunny whose weirdness largely rests on overusing the word bunny (which appears approximately 350 times, one time too many).Writing about writing is never an easy endeavour since there is the high risk that you will remind your readers that they are indeed 'reading' a fictitious work. Since the main cast in Bunny is part of a creative writing MFA program... we were constantly reminded of how inane criticism can be. The five girls part of this program are apparently only able to write fiction that reflects their personal life or preferences... funnily enough, a lot of the criticism that these characters throw at each other's pieces of writing could easily be aimed at Bunny( oh, the irony): Samantha, a student in a creative writing graduate program at a prestigious New England university, finds her simpering classmates intolerable, and with good reason. The coterie of four young women have made an art form out of platonic and public displays of affection: “How fiercely they gripped each other’s pink-and-white bodies, forming a hot little circle of rib-crushing love and understanding it took my breath away. … All four of their glossy mouths making squealing sounds of monstrous love that hurt my face.” Arc Words: Characteristic of Awad’s writing style, there are several words besides the title that are repeated throughout. The Bunnies’ performative friendship rankles Samantha to no end, and she complains about them to her best friend, Ava, a semi-Goth cynic who also can’t abide the stubbornly twee clique, and to Jonah, a sweet young poet and recovering alcoholic who has taken a shine to Samantha.
