![]() ![]() “Trauma people” - those overly attached to their victimhood and who “act retraumatized” when asked to let it go - “are almost as unbearable as Trump people.” It’s not that Big Swiss is unsympathetic (“Yes, what happened to you is shitty, I’m not denying that”) but rather that she’s intensely pragmatic (“Why do you keep rolling around in your own shit?”). ![]() “I’m not one of those trauma people,” Big Swiss declares. ![]() She was also nearly beaten to death several years ago by a man who will soon get out of prison, but she’s not here to talk about that. It’s banal work until Greta transcribes for “Big Swiss,” a married 28-year-old Swiss gynecologist who comes in because she’s never had an orgasm. In a decrepit Dutch farmhouse in Hudson, New York, Greta - the 45-year-old protagonist of Jen Beagin’s splashy new novel, Big Swiss - spends her days as a medical transcriptionist for an eccentric sex therapist.
