When a chance conversation at lunch leads former, age-group swimmer Max Munson back to the water, he rediscovers the benefits of swimming both in competition and for his own pleasure and satisfaction. Diving Back In tells the story of a swimmer who hung up his goggles in frustration 30 years ago and finds a way to return to the pool. Keeping his ego at bay and focusing on the joys of the process, he found more to enjoy in maturity than he ever did in his youth. Telling his story, author Munson describes the array of advantages available to anyone who swims regularly, whether in competition or for the workout. Masters pool competitions, distance swim races, freezing swims in lakes and rivers -- Max describes them all in language that is inviting, helpful, and encouraging. His story leads the reader to the water and all it offers, including mood elevation, health benefits, a chance for active meditation, and improved well-being. If you have ever enjoyed diving into a pool or swimming out deep into a lake or challenging the current of a river, this book is for you.
The first major English translation of one of contemporary Japan's bestselling and most celebrated authors From Akutagawa Award-winning author Yoko Ogawa comes a haunting trio of novellas about love, fertility, obsession, and how even the most innocent gestures may contain a hairline crack of cruel intent. A lonely teenage girl falls in love with her foster brother as she watches him leap from a high diving board into a pool--a peculiar infatuation that sends unexpected ripples through her life. A young woman records the daily moods of her pregnant sister in a diary, taking meticulous note of a pregnancy that may or may not be a hallucination--but whose hallucination is it, hers or her sister's? A woman nostalgically visits her old college dormitory on the outskirts of Tokyo, a boarding house run by a mysterious triple amputee with one leg. Hauntingly spare, beautiful, and twisted, The Diving Pool is a disquieting and at times darkly humorous collection of novellas about normal people who suddenly discover their own dark possibilities.
