But Flavia’s “not one of these trauma people,” she assures her sex therapist, coolly, Swiss-ly. Eight years ago, she was brutally attacked by a man now set to be released from prison. “You must get this a lot,” she says, “but would you mind taking a quick look at this thing on my labia?”įlavia is a gynecologist who harbors a dark past. Luckily, but also unluckily (Flavia is married, after all), there is a Mariska Hargitay look-alike at her local dog park, and like the “Law & Order: S.V.U.” siren, this stranger is not the type to beat around the bush. Like a lot of women I know who’ve only dated men, Flavia - the titular neurotic blonde in Jen Beagin’s new novel, “Big Swiss” - would make an exception for Detective Olivia Benson.
