Recenzii

Marvellous, precise, poignant writing; the reader is happy to be overwhelmed. The highest talent at work
An enthralling debut
A remarkable, beautiful tale ... Utterly new and entirely credible ... This book radiates sensuality, humour, and human truths . Swimming in the Dark is sensual and immersive, and Ludwik's sentimental education is so well described that the reader is left wanting more. You won't want to miss it
Elegant, compelling and full of melancholy beauty ... I will keep it on my shelves alongside novels by Alan Hollinghurst, Edmund White and other classics in the gay canon
One of the most astonishing contemporary gay novels we have ever read . extraordinarily beautiful, enrapturing and poignant . Erotic, mesmeric, heart-rending and brutal, this is a masterpiece
A young Polish author who writes rather miraculously in English, of which he has magisterial and frankly, Conradian command
New Year, New Writers . Swimming in the Dark is an unforgettable debut about youth, love, and loss - and the sacrifices we make to live lives with meaning
Beautifully judged, very moving, passionate ... I was completely gripped
Captivating both for its shimmering surfaces and its terrifying under-deep. I began reading, and soon realized I wouldn't be doing anything else that day. I needed to see these boys, these lovers, through to the end. Tomasz Jedrowski is a remarkable writer, alive to the ramifications of history and politics, in which the violence of a corrupt state can never fully stamp out the flourishing of beauty, grace and resistance
The surprise of Swimming in the Dark lies in its intimate ambivalence - that it captures the pleasures of everyday life behind the Iron Curtain as well as the privations. A beautiful, captivating love story that deepened my understanding of life in communist era Poland
A lyrical exploration of the conflict between gay love and political conformity. Jedrowski is an authentic new international star
