DESCRIPTION - Graham Swift's American debut, the critically acclaimed WATERLAND, established him as one of the most imaginative and powerful contemporary writers, The Wall Street Journal called him 'an artist doing almost everything right.' In LEARNING TO SWIM AND OTHER STORIES, Swift further demonstrates his mastery of language and imagery, his ability to expose and enrich, to surprise and fascinate. From the title story, in which a young boy escapes his parents' manipulation as they struggle to be free of each other, to 'The Watch,' a fantastic tale in which Time meets Destiny and loses, these eleven stories reveal the range and depth of a born storyteller. With a lively combination of wit, pathos, and intelligence, Swift turns a piercing eye to the facades of modern life and family and pulls them down, exposing the truths hidden behind them. He writes movingly of the enclosed worlds in which we confine our lives, of the hotel rooms and marriage beds of claustrophobic relationships, of the ghosts of the past which hold the present and future hostage. But while these stories dramatize the confinements of our lives, they also present hopeful images of escape - and redemption - and the liberation of the act of storytelling itself. In their inventiveness, their depth and diversity, the stories in this collection give eloquent testimony to Graham Swift's uncommon talent. Graham Swift, born in 1949, was nominated as one of the twenty Best of Young British Novelists. He is the author of three novels: WATERLAND, THE SWEET-SHOP OWNER, and SHUTTLECOCK, Graham Swift lives and works in London. inventory #7077 Very Good in Dustjacket.Remainder Mark On Bottom Edge. …
