I adored this book. Never gave I read such an accurate portrayal of depression. This black comedy follows Bunny and her husband Albie as they navigate life with Bunny's depression.
The humour and wit is perfect, and made me laugh out loud. At times I thought I would be triggered by the subject matter but Kirshenbaum writes with an innate sensitivity that can only come with experiencing mental illness first hand.
I was reminded of Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar; the female perspective, the psychiatric hospital, the "treatment". Rabbits For Food is a fantastic contemporary account of female depression that explores themes of loneliness, friendship and companionship.
One of my top reads so far this year, I didn't want it to end.
I adored Bunny and Kirshenbaum has a knack for nailing what it's like to deal with mental illness. A first purchase for adult collections with HS crossover appeal.
I'm late to review this, but it is everything great other reviewers are saying. Rabbits for Food is a smart, often funny novel that is nonetheless a no-holds-barred examination, description, writing-out, rumination on, discussion of, testament to depression and what it does and feels like. It is impeccable.
