“The Swimmer,” by John Cheever— Review

The story “The Swimmer,” by John Cheever is about the transformation of the main character from a state of well-being to... What exactly awaits him at the end of this adventure, conceived and carried out by him, readers will find out when they read.

The tragedy, meaninglessness and hopelessness of existence are metaphorically defined by the author in the description of events, characters, surroundings, and natural changes.

The story can be interpreted in different ways: as the fevered imagination of a crazy protagonist, and as a metaphor for life, which the author presents to us using the example of an unlucky person who has lost his social position.
