What is Wild Swims : Stories about?

“[Dorthe Nors] is a master of tracking the hits and misses of human connection. If she were a surgeon, she would cut with the cleanest of lines.”— Lit Hub°°° A dazzling return to the short story by a finalist for the Man Booker International PrizeIn fourteen effervescent stories, Dorthe Nors plumbs the depths of the human heart, from desire to melancholy & everything in between. Just as she did in her English-language debut, Karate Chop, Nors slices straight to the core of the conflict in only a few pages. But Wild Swims expands the borders of her gaze, following people as they travel through Copenhagen, London, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, & elsewhere.Here are portraits of men & women full of restless longing, people who are often seeking a home but rarely finding it. A lie told during a fraught ferry ride on the North Sea becomes a wound that festers between school friends. A writer at a remote cabin befriends the mother of an ex-lover. Two friends knock doors to solicit fraudulent donations for the cancer society. A woman taken with the idea of wild swims ventures as far as the local swimming pool.These stories have already been featured in the pages of the New Yorker, Harper’s Mag
