Big Swiss has been on my reading list for a long time, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. This was a quick read - not too long, easy to follow text and dialogue. Some of it is written as transcripts, which I really enjoyed. You can get deep into the back-and-forth of some of the conversations this way.

The themes of this book are intense, dealing with trauma and death and mental illness,  the book was full of humor and a lightness, somehow. It didn't blow my socks off, but it was a good book! Read it.
