Man vergisst nicht, wie man schwimmt
Synopsis
Man vergisst nicht, wie man schwimmt is set on August 31, 1999, in the fictional small town of Bodenstein. Fifteen-year-old Pascal — nicknamed "Krüger" by everyone around him — has stopped swimming and refuses to explain why, and has quietly forbidden himself from ever falling in love. On the last day of that summer, Pascal and his friend Viktor cross paths with Jacky, a knife-throwing circus performer whose arrival upends the rules Pascal has built his life around.
Christian Huber's novel is steeped in late-1990s German pop culture and nostalgia, structured around a single pivotal day that reshapes its narrator's adolescence. It became a bestseller on release and is frequently described as a nostalgic coming-of-age "novel of the summer."
