Denzil Strickland
Author of Swimmers in the Sea

Swimmers in the Sea embodies contemporary writing at its best: clean, hard-edged, mysterious and moving. This novel has the classic lines of Hemingway but as much clout as Ian McEwan's Atonement. ~ Sena Jeter Naslund, author of Four Spirits and Ahab's Wife

Denzil Strickland's Swimmers in the Sea is a rollercoaster ride of a novel. Strickland has an amazing ear for dialogue and a keen eye for all the little details that paint a gritty, beautiful portrait of the damaged lives populating this book. ~ Silas House, author of Clay's Quilt and The Coal Tattoo

Swimmers in the Sea is one of the best novels I've read in several years, and I say that without qualification or reservation. This is the real thing; a novel that seems totally right in theme, character, style, honest of emotion, even length. ~ William Cobb, author of
A Walk Through Fire and Coming of Age at the Y
