A bravura literary performance from one of our most indispensable writers.
Rabbits for Food shows how art can lead us out of--or into--the depths of disconsolate loneliness and piercing grief.
Propelled by razor-sharp comic timing and rife with pinpoint insights, Kirshenbaum examines what it means to be unloved and loved, to succeed and fail, to be at once impervious and raw.
Her story is a brilliant and brutally funny dive into the disordered mind of a woman who sees the world all too clearly.
Instead, she passes the time chronicling the lives of her fellow "lunatics" and writing a novel about what brought her there.

While dining out with her husband and their friends, Kirshenbaum\'s protagonist--an acerbic, mordantly witty, and clinically depressed writer--fully unravels.
It\'s New Year\'s Eve, the holiday of forced fellowship, mandatory fun, and paper hats.
