Negative Positive
Title: Lingers Long After
Review: A heartbreaking tale I read over four years ago, "The Nightswimmer" is still one of my favorites of any genre. It was involving to the point of distraction, forcing this reader to break up his plans for the evening to just finish the damn thing. I was sorry afterward that the experience went by so quickly, but I also walked away resenting other books that fail to get under my skin like this one does---still. Thankfully, Olshan came out with "Veritas" a few years later and reaffirmed my conviction that he is a marvel at characterization, plot and illuminating the rough spots in matters of the heart. This is one of those gems I pray to stumble upon every time I step into a bookstore, but rarely find.
