6/1/2023 0 Comments Bunny mona awad review(The university is called Warren? Do you get it? There’s also a statue of a rabbit on campus for some reason. Samantha’s only friend is Ava, an artist who doesn’t seem to have a job and is not a student at Warren like the others but hangs out there a lot. (Maybe the bunnies have suffered, we don’t actually learn anything about their lives outside of what Samantha sees.) She’s an outsider, you guys, and has experienced real pain, not like rich people who never, ever suffer in any way. Samantha doesn’t fit in with these four because she’s edgy and dark and a misfit and not rich like them. They are always together, constantly hugging and coooing over one another, and they call each other Bunny. The plot is basically that Samantha Heather Mackey (Get it? She’s a Heather? Get it?) is an MFA writing student in a cohort with four other women who are best friends. Maybe I need to stop reading books set in MFA programs because I’m beginning to find them all kind of pretentious And part me is a little embarassed to admit that because this is so clearly a book that’s trying to say something and, yes, I get that it’s all a metaphor and kill your darlings and what not, but I don’t get it. What even is this book? I didn’t get it at all. Bunny – Mona Awad (Hamish Hamilton, 2019)
