The deep and other stories

In The Deep and Other Stories, Mary Swan gives us brilliant stories that illuminate the remarkable moments in life, covering a wide range of human thoughts and emotions in a unique, imaginative, and profoundly moving way. "The Deep," her O. Henry Prize-winning story and the centerpiece of this book, tells of twin sisters, their lives amid the horror and confusion of World War I, and the deep connection between them. The mysterious bonds that entwine people are at the heart of other stories as well. Whether vacationing at the Belgian seaside ("By the Sea, By the Sea") or sharing an apartment in Spain ("Spanish Grammar"), Swan's characters discover the emotional foundations that are part of being human. Imaginative, poetic, and true, The Deep and Other Stories reveals something unexpected -- and magnificent -- about what it means to be alive, to feel love and passion, to know and experience the world's pains and pleasures in a way that is rooted in, and ultimately the essence of, the human condition. As Mary Gordon says, "'The Deep' marks the deep strangeness of the project of being alive ... It flowers entirely on its own terms, and the terms are rich and strange."
