Big Swiss

This offbeat novel combines the heart and wit of Sorrow and Bliss with the joy and touch of surrealism in Schitts Creek. It is the funniest book you will read in 2023

Klappentext Greta has never met her in person - she is sitting at a desk in her own house, wearing only headphones transcribing this disembodied voice. What Greta doesn't know is that she's about to bump into BIG SWISS. A new - and not entirely honest - relationship is going to start, that will transform both of their lives.

Auteur
Big Swiss is Jen's third novel. Pretend I'm Dead (winner of the prestigious Whiting Award) and Vacuum in the Dark (shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize) were published by Scribner US and Oneworld in the UK to wide critical acclaim. Jen Beagin holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of California, Irvine. She lives in New York.

Résumé
Big Swiss is a dark party; a hilarious romp through new age pop psychology, romantic obsession, sapphic acrobatics, dogs, and the desire to end it all. Beagin's voice is an engine all its own, and I delighted in this cynical, sexy, hopeless, hopeful, Hudson Valley jubilee. Come for the bees, stay for the donkeys! MELISSA BRODER, author of Milk Fed
