Big Swiss is THE Goblin Mode Novel

Jen Beagin's Big Swiss is the messy, hot, lesbian, up-market literary novel that's destined for the small screen. Referred to as a letter from Penthouse Forum set in Hudson about trauma ...and all the trigger warnings.

Forearms are absolutely a thing

@ThePoptimist Год назад

So I'm learning! I wonder if that's something I'll start noticing like when I learned Quentin Tarantino had a foot fetish and then Once Upon a Time In Hollywood took on a whole new angle.

I started this book and did not know WHAT to make of it. Thanks for this review.

@ThePoptimist Месяц назад

It's a lot I admit - hope you managed to finish it!

@muddywatersbookshelf7758 Год назад

Hi! Just found your channel and just finished Big Swiss. I love your review here. Very thoughtful! I have never read a book like Big Swiss and it will take a few days of thinking about it. I loved parts of the book, but the ending was underwhelming.

@frannook Год назад

I just finished listening to the audiobook, I feel like Rebecca Lowman really brought Greta to life, and I agree with everything you said! Loved it in a very cringey yet addictive way!

@ThePoptimist Год назад

I'm hearing that the audiobook really does capture Greta's tooth rattling voice - cringey and addictive is right!

OMG let me know if you need a tour guide in Lisbon, so glad to welcome you here!

@ThePoptimist Год назад

I've already checked out your Insta stories of Lisbon and it's like every bistro, cafe and restaurant is just chef's kiss beautiful. (So jealous of the Bel Canto visit!) Totally gonna take you up on that and I have so many questions! Can I DM you on Insta?

@@ThePoptimist I just saw this now lol so sorry!

@chrystianegrapes6184 Год назад

I read this and got exactly what I expected, odd characters and odd story. It was so different of a read. Totally agree, would do great on film. Gwendoline Christie has to play the Big Swiss.

@ThePoptimist Год назад

Gwendoline Christie! Would totally put the big in big swiss - love it!

Thank you! Fingers crossed it's all smooth sailing!

I don't know if it's true, but I read that Jodie Comer bought the rights to bring Big Swiss to the screen and plans to play Flavia. ❤ I'm at the part where they just met in the dogpark and I'm loving it.

@lc6067 Месяц назад

That’s true. You can find Jodie talking about it on many clips on RU-vid.

@erinsmith8074 Год назад

I read Big Swiss recently and I honestly still don’t know entirely how to put into words my reading experience. On the one hand, I was sucked in by the chaotic writing style and on the other hand, I was really turned off by Greta’s overall characterization and her weird choices throughout the story.

@ThePoptimist Год назад

Weird choices indeed - she is an absolute mess, there's a diaper at one point for crying out loud. I think that chaos will translate well on screen with the right actor though

thanks! appreciate it

@kathyarrr Год назад

I forgot to mention that the audiobook narrator's voice for Flavia was a dead-on impression of the IG Sad Beige voice for Werner Herzog, It made me laugh every time I heard it. Enjoy your trip to Portugal, favorite locale for Urban Sketchers everywhere, and good luck getting time to read this months honker of a pick. :)

@ThePoptimist Год назад

Yeah I'm a bit nervous about my ability to finish before the end of the month! Love that for the audiobook, would make the reading experience even better. Looking forward to Portugal but no plans to start my retirement hobby of urban sketching quite yet though.

@graceandglamor Год назад

This was EXACTLY my first thought when I heard her, lol.

@karakask5488 Год назад

I was on the fence about this one, but now I think I'll give it a shot Edit: forearms are for sure a thing for heterosexual women, i.e. a man rolling up the sleeves on a button down shirt. I imagine it's the same no matter the sexuality of the forearm admirer

@ThePoptimist Год назад

I've learned that forearms are totally a thing for heterosexual women, like the female equivalent of foot fetishes - though I wonder if there's a subgenre of Only Fans that's just forearms. Tell me because there's no way I'm trying to find out.

@karakask5488 Год назад

@@ThePoptimist You're going to need to do outside research on that, I am not part of the forearm kink community 😂😂

@ThePoptimist Год назад

hard pass!

@nonisnest9718 Год назад

I have to agree with the forearm attraction!

@1book1review Год назад

listening to you I kept thinking "weird". So I guess there's that :D

@ThePoptimist Год назад

Weird does not even begin to cover it. I'm sure the Germans have a word for that feeling of revulsion, bemusement and wtf all at once.

@gillianwinzinger9558 Год назад

World's hottest man forearms: hockey player Maxime Talbot. It's absolutely a thing.

@ThePoptimist Год назад

I'm imagining a world in TikTok with nothing but forearms - someone must have figured out how to monetize against that by now. I don't get either, but forearms make more sense than feet.

@jobuckley2999 Год назад

An excellent review of what sounds like a dismal novel. The review almost needs trigger warnings.. Kind of kidding.

@ThePoptimist Год назад

Honestly I don't even scratch the surface of what is ultimately deflection written on the page. The trauma the main characters share is brutal and unflinchingly written - this is not for everyone.
