Marburg Louise - No Diving Allowed - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: From F. Scott Fitzgerald to John Cheever the swimming pool has long held a unique place in the mythos of the American idyll by turns status symbol and respite. The fourteen stories that comprise NO Diving Allowed fearlessly plunge the depths of the human condition as award - winning author Louise Marburg freights her narratives with the often unfathomable pressure of what lies beneath. In Identical sibling rivalry between brothers exposes lingering resentments of men who never made peace with boyhood animosities; Let Me Stay With You follows a man whose innocent attention to a child is gravely misunderstood. The trials of a fractured family come to the fore in the trenchant unapologetic Minor Thefts. Siblings friends parents couples children: the characters in these stories ask how much any of us can bear before we break. Marburg's writing is agile witty and crisply spare. These are tales of regret and mercy of bonds forged and frayed and most of all our individual capacity to love even that which damns us. As readers of these pages will learn the difference between swimming and drowning is often nothing more than the will to live.
