Don't judge a book by its cover, never more relevant than this one. A topless teenager is demeaning to the content of this story, which took my breath away by its depth and beautiful prose.
"We can never run with our lies indefinitely. Sooner or later we are forced to confront their darkness. We can choose the when not the if. And the longer we wait, the more painful and uncertain it will be"
"Swimming In The Dark" is a thoughtful rumination on the road to adulthood amidst the repression of Soviet-era Poland. Told in the first person, the writing is precise and incisive.
