Rabbits for Food

It's New Year's Eve, the holiday of forced fellowship, mandatory fun, and paper hats. While dining out with her husband and their friends, an acerbic, mordantly witty, and clinically depressed writer fully unravels. Her breakdown lands her in the psych ward of a prestigious New York hospital where she refuses treatment. Instead she passes the time chronicling the lives of her fellow "lunatics" and writing a novel about how she got to this place. -- adapted from jacket
