"Greta lives with her friend Sabine in an ancient Dutch farmhouse in Hudson, New York. The house, built in 1737, is unrenovated, uninsulated, and full of bees. Greta spends her days transcribing therapy sessions for a sex coach who calls himself Om. She becomes infatuated with his newest client, a repressed married woman she affectionately refers to as Big Swiss, since she's tall, stoic, and originally from Switzerland. Greta is fascinated by Big Swiss's refreshing attitude toward trauma. They both have dark histories, but Big Swiss chooses to remain unattached to her suffering while Greta continues to be tortured by her past. One day, Greta recognizes Big Swiss's voice at the dog park. In a panic, she introduces herself with a fake name and they quickly become enmeshed. Although Big Swiss is unaware of Greta's true identity, Greta has never been more herself with anyone. Her attraction to Big Swiss overrides her guilt, and she'll do anything to sustain the relationship"--

Rezensionen
PRAISE FOR JEN BEAGIN:

For Pretend I'm Dead

"Rib-ticklingly funny-sad. . . . [Beagin] works magic in the space between hilarity and heartbreak. . . . Absurdly affecting." -O Magazine, a Best Book of 2018

"One of the most anticipated literary debuts of the year. . . . Pretend I'm Dead traces a cleaning woman's journey to self-acceptance in alternately warm, sharp, and deeply wise fashion. . . . Scathingly funny." -Entertainment Weekly

"With her droll humor and hilarious (but also earnest) observations, the 24-year-old narrator of Pretend I'm Dead had us hooked from page one. . . . Glide through Mona's series of bad decisions with her - she's a good companion." -Refinery 29, a Best Book of 2018

"[A] smart, funny, darkly profound debut." -Nylon

For Vacuum in the Dark

"This novel is a joy: truly laugh-out-loud funny, while staying grounded and dignified, even as Mona capsizes again and again." -Stephanie Danler, The New York Times Book Review

"A wildly exuberant novel that doesn't shy away from the weirder and more disgusting parts of life. . . . Beagin is unafraid to take risks, and they all pay off here-Vacuum in the Dark is an excellent book by a writer with a singular voice." -NPR

"Piquantly amusing. . . . Weird, darkly funny . . . sharply drawn, sexually charged, wry with Mona's deadpan wit." -Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Revels in both order and transgression. . . . Stands alone beautifully. . . . Mona's unforgettably wry voice remains throughout." -Vulture…mehr
