Negative Positive
Title: Interestingly written
Review: I don't read much gay fiction because I tire of the stereotypes. Although they do exist in this book, they are not quite as predominent as in other works.However, this story deals with two men who cannot put their pasts behind them and embark in a healthy relationship. The term "Nightswimmer" becomes a metaphor for issues that the characters cannot put behind them and, although we all have our own "Nightswimmers", the trick is to get beyond them and find happiness, not dwell on the past. The story is written as though the author is speaking to the other main character in the book, a very interesting and almost haunting effect.I would, in the future, like to see a book about well-adjusted men without emotional baggage carrying on a healthy "normal" domestic partnership-- but then that's not much of a story, is it?
Is the review positive or negative?
