A YOU MAGAZINE BOOK OF THE YEAR

'A startlingly funny sex comedy with dark undertones that's high on quirk and scabrous wit.' Sunday Times, 'Books of the Year'
'By turns funny, eccentric and raunchy.' Grazia
'Made me laugh and think too much (the right amount?) about sex and death and honesty.' MONICA HEISEY
'Offbeat, unhinged and brilliant.' Stylist
'Utterly addictive. . . I laughed so hard it ached.' GILLIAN ANDERSON
'Juicy, salacious and compelling. Trauma shouldn't be this fun.' SARA PASCOE

Greta liked knowing people's secrets. That wasn't a problem. Until she met Big Swiss.

Big Swiss. That's Greta's nickname for her - she is tall, and she is from Switzerland. Well that's how Greta imagines her; they haven't actually met in person. Nor has Greta actually ever been to Switzerland.

What Greta doesn't know is that she's about to bump into Big Swiss in the local dog park. A new - and not entirely honest - relationship is going to be born.

A relationship that will transform both of their lives . . .

Readers are obsessed with Big Swiss:

'Thing thing is a riot.'
'Slightly deranged, endlessly entertaining, and weirdly touching.'
'Kooky, funny, and very gripping.'
'Beagin really understands the human condition.'
'From the dark, dry comedy to the conversations surrounding sexuality, trauma and the complexities of our relationships to one another, this book had it ALL.'
'I absolutely adored this!'
'Bonkers but brilliant. I was hooked from the get go.'
'Darkly funny, wildly eccentric and impossibly great.'
'I loved this book all the way through, couldn't put it down.'
'I devoured this book.'
'Wonderful, witty, thought-provoking.'
'Got me out of a reading slump and heartbroken it's over.'

Big Swiss is Jen's third novel. Pretend I'm Dead 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. In 2017, she was awarded a prestigious Whiting Award for her debut novel Pretend I'm Dead. She lives in New York.
