MONTHLY TASTE OF THE ARTS “Bunny” by Mona Awad other “bunny” invites her for “Smut Salon” their weekly meeting. Samantha has no idea what thing she will be part of and how others view creating literature. What grasps the reader from the first chapter is sharp, intelligent language narrating the novel. The author perfectly captured the academic environment and artistic, small world. Main character is very interesting to follow. All her actions, imperfect personality and flaws that lead her to so many weird situations make her a greatly written person. But what I loved the most in this novel, is passion for creating no matter what and how, love for art and literature that is almost dangerous and unhealthy.
