A little about the Book
Big Ray’s temper and obesity define him. When Big Ray dies, his son feels mostly relief, dismissing his other emotions. Yet years later, the adult son must reckon with the outsized presence of his father’s memory. This stunning novel, narrated in more than five hundred brief entries, moves between past and present, between his father’s death and his life, between an abusive childhood and an adult understanding. Shot through with humor and insight that will resonate with anyone who has experienced a complicated parental relationship, Big Ray is a staggering family story—at once brutal and tender, sickening and beautiful.

HAPPY READING!📚📚

Having just recently read this book I wanted to put it forward for consideration. I am happy it won.

I found it a profound family story, both reflective and disturbing, showing what goes on in some households when the drapes are drawn.

Looking forward to the discussion.

I just started the book...hoping to finish it in a couple of days

It is a quick easy read Caroline - epistolary fashion.

Toni - any comments?
