In her debut novel, anarasong uses her unflinching prose to “show us how important fearlessness and honesty are when it comes to creating great art,” Michael Patrick Brady reviews.

When I was a young man, an older partner gave me a nickname. It was early in our relationship, when we were still figuring out what we meant to one another. The name came about organically, serendipitously, but when it happened, she recognized it as a meaningful event. As a psychology student, she’d learned that giving something a name was more than just a display of affection. To give a partner a nickname is to create an identity for them, a private version of them that exists only for you.

Little Rabbit meets her choreographer at a retreat for creative types in Maine; she’s a fledgling writer living in Boston, he’s the established leader of a New York City dance company that tours internationally. At first, she doesn’t think much of him. But when he invites her to watch one of his performances, the physicality and emotion of the dance he has created gives her a new perspective. “I expected to be confused,” she says, “to not understand.

But Rabbit likes the frisson of danger and seeks to escalate it. She asks the choreographer to slap her, to choke her, to lead her around on a silken leash. Their intimate encounters become a way for Rabbit to shed the self-consciously cerebral persona that she’s constructed to protect herself from her own desires. Songsiridej’s sex scenes are powerful and well-rendered, with sensual language that remains firmly focused on Rabbit’s emotional experience.
