She wanted to swim far out, where no woman had swum before.
Condemned as “sordid” and “immoral” on its publication in 1899, thisstory of a woman trapped in her marriage effectively ended Chopin’scareer but was revived as a proto-feminist classic in the 1970s. What Newsweek calls Chopin’s “prophetic psychology” ensures its timeliness today.
The Art of The Novella Series
Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature’s greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.
