About this product
Product Information
An ambitious portrait of an unnamed woman who craves love and a fantastic life, but finds life is mocking her instead. We witness the woman being scolded at her local gym, having sex after vomiting expensive tuna, witnessing a seizure in a movie theatre. Set in the American heartland that feels at once sprawling and claustrophobic, the woman carves through the years with wavering deliberation, unable to escape the fate of an ordinary life. Throughout this narrative, she forces us to contend with the imagined spaces that so often breed discomfort in our daily lives.

"I can't think of a young writer more exactingly hilarious and insightful than Ari Braverman. She writes short little prose bombs that unleash wit and insight and a kind of addictive strangeness, showing that she knows and sees our disturbing world and, amazingly, can bring it perfectly to life on the page." --BEN MARCUS, author of The Flame Alphabet, "I can't think of a young writer more exactingly hilarious and insightful than Ari Braverman. She writes short little prose bombs that unleash wit and insight and a kind of addictive strangeness, showing that she knows and sees our disturbing world and, amazingly, can bring it perfectly to life on the page." --Ben Marcus, author of The Flame Alphabet "An exquisitely observed debut--funny, horny, singular and sad--and gleaming with sentences that deliver welcome shivers of recognition. With big feeling and fine detail, Braverman pays radiant attention, and in so doing refashions the way a person might see the world." --Hermione Hoby, author of Neon in Daylight, "Brilliant, quietly explosive and slyly purposeful, like a controlled avalanche, The Ballad of Big Feeling rolls coolly downhill, gaining momentum and comic energy with every breathtaking page. It's an auspicious debut." --Paul Beatty, author of The Sellout "I can't think of a young writer more exactingly hilarious and insightful than Ari Braverman. She writes short little prose bombs that unleash wit and insight and a kind of addictive strangeness, showing that she knows and sees our disturbing world and, amazingly, can bring it perfectly to life on the page." --Ben Marcus, author of The Flame Alphabet " The Ballad of Big Feeling dug itself right into my bones on the very first page, with a voice and precision that feels both intimately familiar and achingly strange. It's the most aptly-named book I can think of: lyrical and rich, big-hearted and bold." --Juliet Escoria, author of Juliet the Maniac "An exquisitely observed debut--funny, horny, singular and sad--and gleaming with sentences that deliver welcome shivers of recognition. With big feeling and fine detail, Braverman pays radiant attention, and in so doing refashions the way a person might see the world." --Hermione Hoby, author of Neon in Daylight " The Ballad of Big Feeling is an artful book about what it means to be constrained--trapped, really--in an irascible, untidy form. Braverman's debut proves-- lyrically, forcefully-- that for all of our delusions, we are just mammals." --Lee Matalone, author of Home Making "An original, compelling, and enigmatic first novel." --Kirkus "Braverman's poetic, spare writing is perfect for the story, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions and feel their own feelings, especially in all the things left unsaid." -- Booklist, "Brilliant, quietly explosive and slyly purposeful, like a controlled avalanche, The Ballad of Big Feeling rolls coolly downhill, gaining momentum and comic energy with every breathtaking page.

Braverman's debut proves-- lyrically, forcefully-- that for all of our delusions, we are just mammals." --Lee Matalone, author of Home Making "Braverman spins images that pull that perfect trick of making the familiar feel fresh [..] It's a thrill to see that language can still be made to help us feel the rush of life anew." --Lynn Steger Strong, New York Times Book Review "Braverman's debut novel is committed to exploding the interior voice that festers inside human loneliness . . .[she] poignantly makes an adventure out of the mundanity of life in a body. . .The roaring quietness of this book is one that is just right for this moment." -- Believer Magazine " The Ballad of Big Feeling reveals, in intimate and surprising detail, the strangeness of the everyday. Braverman's prose is associative, a feat of compression, characterized by a keen attention to affect, relationships, the emotional charge of objects, and the natural world." -- BOMB Magazine "An original, compelling, and enigmatic first novel." --Kirkus "Braverman's poetic, spare writing is perfect for the story, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions and feel their own feelings, especially in all the things left unsaid." -- Booklist
