Swimming Home is a novel by British writer Deborah Levy, published in 2011.[2] The short novel deals with the experiences of poet Joe Jacobs, when his family vacation is interrupted by a fanatical reader.
Critical reception for the novel was generally favourable. On 25 July 2012 the book was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, and on 11 September that year it was shortlisted. [3] It was shortlisted for the Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Prize (2013).[4] The novel was adapted into a feature film by the British director Justin Anderson. The eponymous film will compete in the Tiger Competition at the 53rd International Film Festival Rotterdam and have its world premiere in January 2024.[5]
