About the Book
Big Swiss follows Greta, a transcriber for a sex therapist, as she becomes obsessed with the voice of one of the patients—a woman she nicknames “Big Swiss.” When their worlds collide unexpectedly, Greta’s life takes a chaotic and hilarious turn.
Written by Jen Beagin, the novel has been praised for its biting humor, unconventional storytelling, and exploration of themes like trauma, healing, and self-discovery. Big Swiss was named one of the New York Times’ Notable Books of 2023 and a Best Book of the Year by NPR.
