How can we distinguish depression from a bad character, and illness from the desire to hide from the meaninglessness of existence? How can we understand whether a person lying with their nose to the wall is simply tired or pinned to the couch by a premonition of disaster? Kirshenbaum masterfully immerses us in the state of her heroine and shows the world through her eyes. And the world flickers like a kaleidoscope: sometimes it seems that it is not worth a drop of our love, sometimes – that everything is fine with the world, it’s just that the heroine herself is very ill.

'Rabbit Breeding' is an honest, harsh, darkly humorous story about clinical depression, relationships, and love.
