Why We Swim by Bonnie Tsui

passifloraincarnata's review

"Black and brown bodies"

So... what?  White folks get to be intellect and soul and heart and all that stuff, but everybody else is just a "body"?  Don't need to read any further. Should have put that in the intro, and saved us a hundred pages.

An interesting look at the human fascination with water. Interweaves personal stories from the author and notable swimmers with scientific perspectives and an in depth look at different cultures and traditions associated with the water. A quick, engrossing read.
