Description

‘A bitingly funny and occasionally heartbreaking look at mental illness love and relationships’ The New York Times ‘Razor-sharp astutely observed and acerbically funny’ Guardian ‘A psychotic breakdown is not often the stuff of comedy but Binnie Kirshenbaum makes it so without belittling the subject.’ Daily Mail ‘Darkly funny’ Red Bunny is sick to the back teeth of – well everything really but especially New Year’s Eve. It’s nothing more than forced fellowship mandatory fun and paper hats. And yet Bunny finds herself out at another New Year’s dinner with her husband and a group of particularly irritating friends. It’s really no wonder that this provokes an extreme action that lands her in the psych ward of a prestigious New York hospital. Refusing treatment Bunny passes the time chronicling the lives of her fellow “lunatics” and writing a novel about what brought her there. Her story is a brilliant brutally funny insight dive into the disordered mind of someone who sees the world all too clearly. Propelled by razor-sharp humour and rife with pinpoint observations Kirshenbaum examines what it means to be unloved and loved to succeed and fail to be impervious and raw. A bravura literary performance from one of America’s finest writers.
