In the three connected stories that comprise Sandra Scofield's Swim, a young woman tests the limits of her independence as she makes her away across a continent and an ocean. She travels light and asks for little. She knows what men want: sex and authority. She is willing to give them her body, but she fiercely holds on to her belief that she is the one to charge. For her, every engagement, every struggle, is an investigation of agency. She is a critical observer and passionate recorder of experience. Living lean, sometimes desperate, still she claims her selfhood by making her lfe her story.
