{"product_id":"swimming-studies","title":"Swimming Studies","description":"Swimming Studies is a collection of autobiographical sketches that explore the worlds of competitive and recreational swimming. From her training for the Olympic trials as a teenager, to meditative swims in pools and oceans as an adult, Leanne Shapton contemplates the sport that has shaped her life. Her spare and elegant writing reveals an intimate narrative of suburban adolescence, spent underwater in a discipline that continues to inspire Shapton's work as an artist and author, while her illustrations offer a new perspective on the landscapes and imagery of swimming. Shapton emphasizes the private, often solitary moments of athletic pursuit rather than its triumphs. This remarkable work of written and visual pieces propels the reader through a beautifully personal exercise in reflection.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0399174842\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0399174842.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Shapton, Leanne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43906144206909,"sku":"BVV.0399174842.VG","price":8.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0399174842-0.jpg?v=1793222036","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/swimming-studies","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
