"Bunnies are cute," he said, kissing my knees. He found the tender spot of my inner thighs, brushing it with his mouth so I gasped again. "Rabbits are small and wild and determined to survive."
'Alyssa Songsiridej's Little Rabbit shocked me. It tells truths about sex, the self, and art-making that I'd never seen on the page or even known the words to think before. It's bold, frightening, and magnificent, a work deserving of this honor and many more' Vulture
'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, 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 refuses to play into tropes that to be submissive is to be inherently exploited, and is also a nuanced exploration of BDSM and power. It's hard to put down, sexy, and not predictable' Buzzfeed
