Neddy Merrill Swims The Lucinda River

The narrator examines Neddy Merrill in John Cheever's short story "The Swimmer."

"Was his memory failing or had he so disciplined it in the repression of unpleasant facts that he had damaged his sense of the truth?"

Great short story, Matt, and also a great, if relatively obscure movie starring Burt Lancaster. Read a review of The Swimmer movie.
