Awad’s Bunny is a fever dream of literary wit and feminist horror.
Following the bizarre experiences of Samantha, who’s pursuing an MFA at an
elite New England institution, Bunny reveals raw truths about envy, aspiration,

I adore sports romance. This is not a

Beartown distills the joys
and horrors of small-town life and how one choice carries consequences for

triumphs of its youth hockey teams.
