The Swimming Diaries by Susan Thomson

This small book is exactly 25,000 words long. It corresponds to the 25,000 metres or strokes I swam during the month when artist Susan Thomson's Mother was dying. This book is a translation, or a series of translations. Is the swim itself an impenetrable and untranslatable or in a language all of its own; one of water and muscle, energy and pain.
