Little Rabbit

Bol

Combining the sticky sexual politics of Luster with the dizzying, perceptive intimacy of Cleanness, Little Rabbit is a wholly new kind of coming-of-age story about lust, punishment, artistic drive and desires that defy the hard-won boundaries of the self. 'A sweetly shocking novel exploring identity, love, lust, friendship, art, pain and possession' MsWhen she first meets the choreographer at an artists' residency, they don't hit it off. But when he invites her to watch his dance company perform, something shifts. Their interaction at the show sets off a summer of expanding sexual boundaries. Over weekends sequestered at his summer house in upstate New York, her body learns to obediently follow his, and his desires quickly become inextricable from her pleasure - and her pain. Back in Boston, her roommate's concern amplifies her own doubts about these heady weekend retreats. What does it mean for a young, queer woman to be with an older man? For a fledgling artist to attach herself to an established one? And does falling in love have to mean eviscerating yourself?'Bold, frightening and magnificent...
