Description
Edna O'Brien's short stories in 'Paradise Faber Stories' showcase her mastery of the genre. With surprising and beautiful prose, she crafts a scene of eroticism and insecurity that explores society's larger trap.
In this quietly horrifying tale, an unnamed protagonist is taught to swim by her new lover while he is away at sea. As the pressure mounts, it becomes only a matter of time before she snaps. O'Brien brings together past, present, and future in a thought-provoking exploration of human discomfort.
