Try to find a copy of "The Short Stories of John Cheever," from which "The Swimmer" was taken. Cheever was one of this country's greatest contemporary writers on the human condition at all levels. Most of his work was set in the years immediately following WW2 and is magnificently written. I have re-read my copy many times over the years (1980s copyright).Try him, you'll like him. A lot.
Follow Ups:
What a coincidence. I just read The Swimmer last night. I found the movie to more moving to me: the almost normalacy gradually evolving into a nightmare with the viewer just a half a beat behind. Jim.
