It's 1992 in Portland, Oregon. Fifteen-year-old Julie Winter moves
through her days as if underwater - watching skaters through the
constant rain, detached from her best friend's crushes, listening
to the same B-side REM song on repeat. The rest of the world is
caught up in the AIDS crisis, the war in Yugoslavia, and grunge.
But to Julie it's all background. No one at home talks about her
older brother, a once-champion swimmer who could be living in
Berlin, or could be anywhere. And although she spends her time
searching for pictures of him in the pages of Swimmer's World
magazine, she'd never considered swimming herself. Until Alexis,
captain of the swimming team, tries to recruit her. What starts as
a flirtation and an infatuation becomes a chance to join in with
the world, find out what really happened to her brother, or finally
let him go. Yearning, stifled, and sharp, Dryland is an anti-coming
out novel that captures gauzy queer exploration at its quietest and
its most loud.
