RABBITS FOR FOOD by Binnie KirshenbaumRead about another entry on the list.
This engrossing bestseller from 2019 chronicles the breakdown of the lead character, Bunny, into institutionalization, beginning on New Year’s Eve. In the psych ward, she refuses treatment and instead chronicles the goings-on around her and somehow writes her way out of it. Over the course of the story, the author – a creative writing professor in New York City – manages to make the harrowing descent into clinical depression hilarious.
