Bunny
Mona Awad, 2019
A broke MFA student watches a clique of rich, eerie women call each other Bunny, then gets pulled into their workshop—a social satire that curdles into horror.
Awad holds an MFA from Brown and a PhD from the University of Denver; she teaches creative writing at Syracuse University.
Feels like dread, unease and friendship.
The private prayer of anyone who has ever watched a perfect clique from outside.
I quietly prayed for the hug implosion all year last year. That their ardent squeezing might cause the flesh to ooze from the sleeves, neckholes, and A‑line hems of their cupcake dresses like so much inane frosting. That they would get tangled in each other’s Game of Thrones hair, choked by the ornate braids they were forever braiding into each other’s heart‑shaped lit‑ tle heads. That they would choke on each other’s blandly grassy perfume.Never happened. Not once. Mona Awad, 2019
