Summary
Seven unlikely teammates, swimmers who become, in the words of their coach 'A perennial road team. Mermen without a pond,' find an unexpected refuge in a big yellow Cutter High School bus, in a captivating, sad, and humorous novel. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Thereâs bad news and good news about the Cutter High School swim team. The bad news is that they donât have a pool. The good news is that only one of them can swim anyway. A group of misfits brought together by T. J. Jones (the J is redundant), the Cutter All Night Mermen struggle to find their places in a school that has no place for them. T.J. is convinced that a varsity letter jacketâexclusive, revered, the symbol (as far as T.J. is concerned) of all that is screwed up at Cutter Highâwill also be an effective tool. Heâs right. Heâs also wrong. Still, itâs always the quest that counts. And the bus on which the Mermen travel to swim meets soon becomes the space where they gradually allow themselves to talk, to fit, to grow. Together theyâll fight for dignity in a world where tragedy and comedy dance side by side, where a momentâs inattention can bring lifelong heartache, and where true acceptance is the only prescription for what ails us.
