What’s interesting is that this event has been going on since the 1990s, it’s well-publicized, it’s free, the weather was good, the water was warm…and there were 17 swimmers. I’m seeing this everywhere - free readings by National Book Award winners drawing less than 50, for example.

Well, also one of those books where all the main characters are aging literature professors who despise one another, ponder suicide and never leave New York City.
