具体描述
'An admirable collection. Each story has its subtle nuances of narrative and language which established a quite distinct character. A most impressive work of fiction' - "The Times". Graham Swift's taut prose style, natural gift for characterization and tight grasp of the details and complexities of real life combine beautifully in these concentrated and enigmatic stories to offer an incisive expose of the illusion, subterfuge and enigma of everyday interaction. Focusing on the combative relationships between men and women - between a mismatched couple; an ageing doctor and his hypochondriacal patient; a teenage refugee swept up in the conflict of an oppressively sentimental father and his rebellious son - these spare, Kafkaesque stories are a microcosm for all human cruelty and need. 'Graham Swift...has a wide range; he can be delicately sensitive or outrageously funny. He is a born storyteller' - "Daily Telegraph". 'He has style and he has range, and quiet strengths that are continuously and effortlessly displayed. Graham Swift should be read by everyone with an interest in the art of the short story' - "Evening Standard".

读后感
有些地方明显能看出译者的能力缺陷，尽管我没有读过原文。 小说情节不太精彩，作者着力于描述人的心理状态，而这种心理多少有些阴暗，看了有些不快。 选这本书，完全因为书名和封面了，以为能看到一个积极健康的人物形象，在回家的路上看完第一篇，就已经有些失望了。后面也...
评分《学游泳》是英国作家格雷厄姆·斯威夫特（Graham Swift）的短篇小说集。它和我们通常会遇见的故事集一样，满纸中产阶级现实生活的琐碎，男女主角之间打不完的心理仗。可它又有些古怪之处，十一个短篇，技法节奏始终在变，某一篇耗掉了读者的耐心，下一篇就发誓要补回来，不断...
