SUMMARY:Mona Awad and Chris Boucher Double Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us August 15th for the double launch of Mona Awad’s Bunny and Chris Boucher’s Big Giant Floating Head! \nAbout Bunny:\nSamantha Heather Mackey couldn’t be more of an outsider in her small\, highly selective MFA program at New England’s Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people\, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort–a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other “Bunny\,” and seem to move and speak as one.\nBut everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies’ fabled “Smut Salon\,” and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door–ditching her only friend\, Ava\, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies’ sinister yet saccharine world\, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus “Workshop” where they conjure their monstrous creations\, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon\, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision. \nAbout Big Giant Floating Head:\nAfter his wife announces on Twitter that she’s leaving him\, Christopher’s life in small-town Coolidge just goes from one catastrophe to another. He contracts a strange illness that divides him in half\, undergoes a failure competition\, and is driven to join a cult called The Unloveables. How did it all get this bad? How can he regain his bearings\, and find meaning and love once again?\nHeartfelt and riotously imaginative\, Big Giant Floating Head is the daring\, dazzling account of a man’s struggle with love\, loss and redemption.
