THE SWIMMER by John Cheever

4 Stars


A twisted little tale of heartache.

Powerful, as all good short stories should be, this is a wonderful ride from the halcyon days of endless summer through autumn and winter. I can taste the gin and tonic on my lips, so perfect a summer drink that fades from glory in the crispness of chillier days.

In many ways this reminded me of The Great Gatsby.
