‘Prachtig liefdesverhaal - over de offers die je soms moet brengen om jezelf trouw te zijn.’ Rik van de Westelaken Krachtig, universeel vraagstuk: geef je je principes op voor de liefde of niet? Voor de lezers van Benedict Wells, Noem me bij jouw naam van André Aciman, en Hanya Yanagihara’s Een klein leven. Polen, 1980. De angstige, gedesillusioneerde Ludwik Gowacki, die binnenkort afstudeert aan de universiteit, is samen met de rest van zijn klas naar een landbouwkamp gestuurd. Hier ontmoet hij Janusz. Samen brengen ze een droomachtige zomer door met zwemmen in afgelegen meren, het lezen van verboden boeken en verliefd worden. Maar als de zomer voorbij is, gaan de twee noodgedwongen terug naar Warschau, naar de harde realiteit van het leven onder de communistische partij. Verbannen uit het paradijs moeten Ludwik en Janusz beslissen hoe ze zullen overleven, en door hun verschillende keuzes worden ze uit elkaar gedreven. Zwemmen in het donker is een onvergetelijke roman over jeugd, liefde en verlies – en de offers die we brengen om een zinvol leven te leiden. De pers en boekhandelaren over Zwemmen in het donker ‘Meesterlijk.’ Trouw ‘Jedrowski schrijft invoelbaar en lichamelijk over verliefdheid en vertwijfeling en je hart bonst al gauw mee met dat van zijn hoofdpersoon.’ **** de Volkskrant ‘Als lezer blijf je geroerd en stil achter.’ Zin ‘In elke vezel van dit fijngevoelige debuut woekert het verlangen naar de vrijheid.’ De Tijd ‘Het boek voelde voor mij echt helemaal af. Misschien is er ook wel een traan gelaten aan het eind...’ Eveline Dowling, boekhandel Paagman, Den Haag ‘Dit is nou een pareltje van de boekhandel, helemaal stuk zijn we van deze prachtige roman over een ontluikende liefde in Polen in 1980.’ Astrid, Marlies, Irma en Lonneke van boekhandel Derijks

Named A Best Book of 2020 by NPR! “Imagine Call Me By Your Name set in Communist Poland and you'll get a sense of Jedrowski's moving debut about a consuming love affair amidst a country being torn apart.” — O, The Oprah Magazine “Captivating both for its shimmering surfaces and its terrifying depths. Tomasz Jedrowski is a remarkable writer.” — Justin Torres, bestselling author of We the Animals Set in early 1980s Poland against the violent decline of Communism, a tender and passionate story of first love between two young men who eventually find themselves on opposite sides of the political divide—a stunningly poetic and heartrending literary debut for fans of André Aciman, Garth Greenwell, and Alan Hollinghurst. When university student Ludwik meets Janusz at a summer agricultural camp, he is fascinated yet wary of this handsome, carefree stranger. But a chance meeting by the river soon becomes an intense, exhilarating, and all-consuming affair. After their camp duties are fulfilled, the pair spend a dreamlike few weeks in the countryside, bonding over an illicit copy of James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room. Inhabiting a beautiful, natural world removed from society and its constraints, Ludwik and Janusz fall deeply in love. But in their repressive Communist and Catholic society, the passion they share is utterly unthinkable. Once they return to Warsaw, the charismatic Janusz quickly rises in the political ranks of the party and is rewarded with a highly coveted government position. Ludwik is drawn toward impulsive acts of protest, unable to ignore rising food prices and the stark economic disparity around them. Their secret love and personal and political differences slowly begin to tear them apart as both men struggle to survive in a regime on the brink of collapse. Shifting from the intoxication of first love to the quiet melancholy of growing up and growing apart, Swimming in the Dark is a potent blend of romance, postwar politics, intrigue, and history. Lyrical and sensual, immersive and intense, Tomasz Jedrowski’s indelible and thought-provoking literary debut explores freedom and love in all its incarnations.

The darkly beautiful novelistic memoir of a childhood spent in the shadow of a domineering, abusive father This is a story she never wanted to tell, but in the end she had no choice. When her older sister dies at the age of sixty-nine, it brings back a past the author thought she had left behind. Incensed, she delves back into her childhood, recreating the abusive world that she grew up in, ruled over by her tyrannical father, The Minotaur. In a narrative by turns shockingly dark and strangely beautiful, she retraces her path through the phantasmogorical labyrinth, bringing a tale of silent trauma to a triumphant, raucous conclusion. Falling is Like Flying is an extraordinary novelistic memoir of abuse and resilience, a literary triumph that reminds us what language is capable of.
