Overview

A sideways view of coming of age, Rapids is the story of a young man who moves to a strange city and finds himself lost in its warren of streets and squares. He is looking for his own identity–personal, political, sexual. A series of encounters culminates with his meeting Anja: a strong, older woman, stuck in a relationship with another man she cannot bring herself to leave. Anja proves to be an anchor for the young man, but their relationship must remain a secret–and when that secret finally comes to light, their troubles are just beginning.

"Rapids" proves to be a curious tale... The coy narrative, with its lack of surnames and identifiable locations, wilfully denies detail... the absence of detail contributes to a sense of quasi-allegorical universality.–Alana Shilling-Janoff"Times Literary Supplement" (01/01/0001)
