Little Rabbit

“A worthy contemplation of sexual politics, revealing how losing and finding yourself do not have to be mutually exclusive.”—Claire Kohda, The New York Times Book Review

“A tantalizing queer confessional, where a bisexual woman writer is pulled to the kind of patriarchal male dancer she'd never spared a second for. Here the nearness of artistic fame is so palpable, you will desire it for the narrator nearly as much as she desires the consummation of her glittering S&M relationship. Skillfully and tautly drawn.”—Chaya Bhuvaneswar, San Francisco Chronicle

“Explores power dynamics and kink within an unexpected relationship with riveting nuance . . . Little Rabbit arrives at just the right time, serving as a fearless inquiry into the power of bodies and intimacy.” —The Observer

“Little Rabbit takes on the tricky issues inherent in creating with collaborators in the most incisive way I've ever seen. What boundaries are necessary, and which ones can be flexible? How can anyone advocate for themselves when their professional future could be at stake? Songsiridej unflinchingly deals with these issues and more, resulting in a book I'm recommending to all my friends who are artists in any discipline.”—BuzzFeed

“It's the sexiest book we've read in a long time…a seductive, deeply complex exploration of power and agency, and lust and love. It rushes through you and leaves you stunned.”—goop

“A darkly sensuous tale of awakening that will quietly engulf you in flames.”—Ling Ma, author of Severance

“A deeply empathetic and horny novel-a love letter to bottoming and being an artist and following yourself to the end of everything.”—Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House

“Little Rabbit is a glorious debut-riveting, soulful, cerebral, and the sexiest novel I've ever read. In this story about ambition, power, art-making, and the pursuit of beauty, perfect for fans of Luster and Bad Behavior, Alyssa Songsiridej thrillingly interrogates the conflict between reason and desire, between our public and private selves. My life is richer for having read this book. Yours will be too.”—Jessamine Chan, author of The School For Good Mothers

“Little Rabbit turned me inside out and left me utterly in awe. This daring exploration of the boundaries between desire and obliteration will have you asking who is in control. A fearless portrayal of a young writer shaping her life and art, even as they collide.”—Sanaë Lemoine, author of The Margot Affair

“Eviscerating. Sophisticated. So incredibly hot.”—Rachel Yoder, author of Nightbitch

“Scintillating and seductive, almost unbearably perceptive, Little Rabbit announces the arrival of a brilliant new voice in literature, one who knows how to make the body sing.”—Alexandra Kleeman, author of Something New Under The Sun

“What a hypnotic, sexy, smart, unputdownable book! It delves into so many of my favorite subjects: erotic obsession, art, friendship, and the slippery and surprising nature of selfhood.”—Melissa Febos, author of Girlhood

“A fierce and utterly compelling look at the nearly biological instinct to nurture a love affair, even when that love isn't understood by others, and it blows your world apart. Little Rabbit is a totally absorbing debut: nuanced, intelligent, and sexy as hell.” —Courtney Maum, author of The Year Of The Horses

“Little Rabbit is a brilliant debut by a rare talent. Songsiridej writes with tremendous precision, intelligence, and insight about the complexities of desire-how it can prompt the impulse to empower, possess, erase, and recreate one's lover and oneself.” —Chloé Cooper Jones, author of Easy Beauty
