When the unnamed narrator of Little Rabbit
first meets the choreographer at an artists' residency in Maine, it's
not a match. She finds him loud, conceited, domineering. He thinks her
serious, guarded, always running away to write. But when he reappears in
her life in Boston and invites her to his dance company's performance,
she's compelled to attend. Their interaction at the show sets off a
summer of expanding her own body's boundaries: She follows the
choreographer to his home in the Berkshires, to his apartment in New
York, and into submission during sex. Her body learns to obediently
follow his, and his desires quickly become inextricable from her
pleasure. This must be happiness, right?
Back in Boston, her
roommate Annie's skepticism amplifies her own doubts about these heady
weekend retreats. What does it mean for a queer young woman to partner
with an older man, for a fledgling artist to partner with an established
one? Is she following her own agency, or is she merely following him?
Does falling in love mean eviscerating yourself?
Combining the sticky sexual politics of Luster with the dizzying, perceptive intimacy of Cleanness, Little Rabbit
is a wholly new kind of coming-of-age story about lust, punishment,
artistic drive, and desires that defy the hard-won boundaries of the
self.
