This book has been marketed as sort of a mystery/thriller, and if you’re expecting that, you’ll be disappointed.
This is a book that feels a bit more like short stories, only the characters are all loosely connected to each other – a format I feel I’m seeing a lot of these days (Bernadine Evaristo’s Girl, Woman, Other does this very well, and so does Elizabeth Strout). Phillips received a Fulbright fellowship to live there in 2011, and she wrote her story from the perspective of the white and native people who live there. Author Phillips is an American who decided to write about a very remote area in Siberia called Kamchatka. So incredibly hot.This is a debut novel that’s received quite a bit of praise, but it was not quite as good as I hoped it would be.
Join us for the unmissable debut of a brilliant new talent in fiction, praised by Rachel Yoder (Nightbitch) thusly: "Eviscerating. This must be happiness, right? In the heady, perceptive manner of Raven Leilani's Luster and Garth Greenwell's Cleanness, Songsiridej sticks a singular landing with this exhilarating and deeply unflinching look at desire, creativity, ambition, sex, and power. Their interaction at the show sets off a summer of expanding her own body's boundaries-her body learns to obediently follow his, and his desires quickly become inextricable from her pleasure.
But when he reappears in her life in Boston and invites her to his dance company's performance, she's compelled to attend. He thinks her serious, guarded, always running away to write. She finds him loud, conceited, domineering. Join us at Fort Greene to celebrate the launch of Little Rabbit, the hotly-anticipated debut novel by editor and author Alyssa Songsiridej, in conversation with acclaimed author Julia Phillips ( Disappearing Earth). When the unnamed narrator of Little Rabbit first meets a choreographer at an artists' residency in Maine, it's not a match. St Joseph's University (Brooklyn Voices Series)īook Launch: Alyssa Songsiridej presents Little Rabbit: A Novel.
