Bunny

Zusatztext "Every time I open it up, I stumble upon a crackling sentence." Dwight Garner, The New York Times "Awad has proved herself one of the most innovative and original authors out there, and Bunny is a wild, audacious and ultimately unforgettable novel." Los Angeles Times "A work of toothsome and fanged intelligence....wickedly hilarious." The New Yorker "Deliciously evil . . . Awad is a stone-cold genius." The Washington Post "Very funny and very sharp . . . An extremely readable page-turner." NPR's "Weekend Edition" "A dark, dazzling fairy tale . . . A touching story of true-versus-faux friendship that many women will relate to is at the heart of this novel, but fans of the occult will find plenty to love about the Bunnies' sci-fi-adjacent ritual experimentation. As if grad school needed to get any scarier." Vogue , "The Best Novels of 2019" "[One of] the most cerebral and compulsively readable books of the season . . . This compelling novel about a mysterious grad school clique draws a bit of inspiration from Mean Girls or Heathers... before long, the novel takes a turn into the surreal, applying the logic of a horror movie to its incisive exploration of cruelty between young women." Vanity Fair "A spiritual cousin to Stephen King's Carrie . . . Bunny is a kind of pastel-toned goth lit, an examination of what happens when 'soft' femininity meets the tougher kindbut one that also recognizes how blurry the distinction can be." TIME "Wacky and delicious." Lauren Groff, via Twitter "With visuals so vivid, and a plot so weird and gripping that it's already been snapped up to be made into a TV series, Bunny is a summer book, an escapist comedy, a beach read that you'll want to pass around. But that's only partly because it's rollickingly, laugh-out-loud funny. What makes it memorable, and powerful, is the coupling of its go-for-broke sendup with an immense compassion . . . For all its dagger-sharpness, Bunny has a tenderly accommodating heart." The Boston Globe "It's creepy and it's kooky, mysterious and spooky, and you will not be able to put it down." The Washington Post "A surreal, darkly funny take on art, power, and female friendships." Entertainment Weekly "Exquisitely precise [and] funny as hell.'" The Boston Globe "Like one of those razors marketed to women: you know, pink but still GD dangerous." Elle "To call this a dark comedy undersells the richness of its message, and to say it's a satire misses its realism. Bunny is so sharp it will leave you bloody." Vulture "The weirdest novel you'll read this year . . . in the best way possibleWith hints of Heathers and Mean Girls , I read Bunny in one night and was genuinely bummed when it was over." Mehera Bonner, Cosmopolitan "[A] dizzying tale of misandry, class anxiety, and psychological torment . . . Fans of sinister girl gangs, take heart!" Harper's Bazaar "A dark, twisted novel that sharply interrogates women's relationships to one another and to art, academia, and classit's the kind of book that leaves a taste in your mouth, the taste of blood. Who knew that would taste so good?" Nylon "Mona Awad's prose is dangerous. She crafts beautiful meals laced with poison." The Paris Review "Mona Awad lets femininity bare its fangs." The Toronto Star "With notes of Scream Queens and Heathers , Bunny takes readers into a twisted, terrifying cabal." Newsweek "[ Bunny ] quickly ascends to a Heathers level of camp without losing its grip on emotional reality . . . the struggle, shame, and frustration of making art rings true . . . enjoyable, insightful [and] com...
