Fiction Family Life
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.
