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
