Listen "Why Mona Awad gave the Bunnies a say"
Episode Synopsis
The bunnies are back … and they’re bloodier than ever. In We Love You, Bunny, Mona Awad returns to the surreal world of her best selling novel Bunny. A deliciously deranged mix of fairy tale, satire and horror, Bunny was loved by critics and readers alike. But what do the villains of that story — a clique of mean girls called the Bunnies — have to say about it? We Love You, Bunny provides a dark, hilarious answer. Mona joins Mattea Roach to talk about expanding the Bunny universe, getting into the heads of her characters and taking inspiration from drag queens. Liked this conversation?
