Waterlog – A Swimmer`s Journey Through Britain
Waterlog was inspired by John Cheever’s classic short story ‘The Swimmer”; Roger Deakin set out from his moat in Suffolk to swim through the British Isles. The result of his journey is a maverick work of observation and imagination, a uniquely personal view of an island race and a people with a deep, instinctive affinity with water. Encompassing cultural history, autobiography, travel writing and natural history, Waterlog is a personal journey, a bold assertion of the native swimmer’s right to roam and an unforgettable celebration of the magic of water.
