I woke up to a message from the person I am working on the book with telling me to read THE SWIMMER “Published in the New Yorker in 1964, John Cheever’s “The Swimmer” is an elegant and surreal retelling of the myth of Narcissus stretched to encompass an entire class of men: old money; the WASPs.” https://archive.is/XBOV7

Does the book have a similar theme and storyline with this? “Retelling of the myth of Narcissus stretched to encompass an entire class of men…”

Great read! There’s actually a NYer reading on this by Anne Enright. I remembered reading it after I heard that a while ago: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-yorker-fiction/id256945396?i=1000373199613

Oh it’s pretty chill to see you taking writing pretty seriously. Would this be available as an audio book though?

I love how the story illustrates how we create to avoid harsh realities and the inevitable confrontation with loss and regret as those illusions fade. Have you read it? I don’t wanna spoil it for for you

Does your book have anything to do with the classes of men? Cause the book seems a little too random for me
