Swimming

Autor Karl Luntta
en Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 2015
A swimming pool in the Kalahari Desert, the ice skates of a boy in a wheelchair, and a midnight train ride in the cool African night form the backdrop of the eight diverse stories in Swimming. Some of the stories take place in Africa, others in the United States, but in all of them, the characters confront cultural and racial differences, both historically and in the present. In "A Virgin Twice," an American teaching in Botswana struggles to understand a village's response to a violent assault. In "Jeff Call Beth," a white American father attempts to connect with the daughter he left behind in Africa. And in the title story, "Swimming," a Danish expatriate dying of cancer decides to build an Olympic-sized swimming pool in the Kalahari Desert. All of these characters are clinging to emotional survival in a complex world, confronted by a moment or element of their lives that is perplexing, perhaps devastating, but which they need to resolve.
