Learning to Swim: And Other StoriesThe men and women in these spare, Kafkaesque stories are engaged in struggles that are no less brutal because they are fought by proxy. In Graham Swift's taut prose, these quiet combative relationships between a mismatched couple; an aging doctor and his hypochondriacal patient; a teenage refugee swept up in the conflict between an oppressively sentimental father and his rebellious son become a microcosm for all human cruelty and need.

The men and women in these spare, Kafkaesque stories are engaged in struggles that are no less brutal because they are fought by proxy. In Graham Swift's taut prose, these quiet combative relationships--between a mismatched couple; an aging doctor and his hypochondriacal patient; a teenage refugee swept up in the conflict between an oppressively sentimental father and his rebellious son--become a microcosm for all human cruelty and need.

"Swift proves throughout this ambitious collection that he is a master of his language and the construction of provocative situations."--Houston Chronicle

Very wrinkle free and sheds off liquids well.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
Very very nice shift. I’m usually XL and that’s what size I purchased and it fits perfectly. I recently purchased one for my sons 5th grade graduation and the fit and feel was better than the 80.00 and 89.00 shirts I purchased for him at Dillard's, which were returned.

Great shirt!
Color: White, Size: X-Large
This shirt is all that! It's beautiful and feels soft yet very stable fabric. White is always somewhat see through but this one isn't bad, unless you wore black under it. My husband loves it!
