Author Talk: Jen Beagin on Big Swiss at Brooklyn Heights

Join us at the Brooklyn Heights Library to hear Jen Beagin read from and discuss her new novel Big Swiss. Books will be available for purchase from Books Are Magic.

Big Swiss is a brilliantly original and funny novel about a sex therapist's transcriptionist who falls in love with a client while listening to her sessions. When they accidentally meet in real life, an explosive affair ensues. Bold, outlandish, and filled with irresistible characters, Big Swiss is both a love story and a deft examination of infidelity, mental health, sexual stereotypes, and more from an amazingly talented, one-of-a-kind voice in contemporary fiction.

Jen Beagin holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of California, Irvine, and is a recipient of a Whiting Award in fiction. Her first novel Pretend I’m Dead was shortlisted for the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize and Vacuum in the Dark was shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for comic fiction. She lives in Hudson, New York.
