Losing Time in Life: The Swimmer by John Cheever

Founder Benjamin Franklin's father once declared "I can not find lost time anymore." This sentence is related to the meaning that people often spend time on their hands. John Cheever's "swimmer" drew this through the eyes of a suburban male Neddy. Nedi is the average "Joe" of most suburban families. In most cases, life in the suburbs is iterative, and humans are easily lost with monotonous adventures called life. Time has leaked out of his figure, he did not know whether he changed too quickly or was around the world around him.

"Swimmer" by John Cheever is a short story about Neddy Merrill and his alcohol journey. Alcoholism plays a harmful role in the life of Neddy Merrill as it is ruined by relying on this terrible substance. The author symbolically presents the stage of alcoholism, the influence on alcohol, how alcohol-dependent families and friends transformed into Nedi. The pool Neddy swims and the people and conditions Neddy encounters represents the various stages of his drinking.

John Cheever's swimmer. This is completed. Swimmer was first announced in New Yorker in 1964 and is now widely regarded as the most important American short story of the 20th century. Surrealism, sorrow, strangeness, this is a story of a man, they think of others' lives as swimmers in the backyard pool. James Baldwin went to see people. As I can not find a free copy of this story online, I will point to the Baldwin collection of American libraries. Going to see people is a cruel and sincere story about American racial violence. "Welcome to Men" first published in 1965 is an important part of American art, but some of the things the reader should know about include a truthful and vivid explanation of cruel cruelty .

When John Cheever started writing "Swimmers" for the first time, he thought it was a novel - he wrote a lot of space before actually rethinking. As Black Bailey mentioned in his biography, "Soon, Chif doubted that he had a very good novel in his hand," but his confidence gradually became dissatisfied. I carved his carefully polished story. Michael Chabon reads it for the first time in his teens and calls it a masterpiece of mystery, words, and sorrow. It will be a ghost story. "
