"This is my 20th year in the sport. I've known swimming and that's it. I don't want to swim past age 30; if I continue after this Olympics, and come back in 2016, I'll be 31. I'm looking forward to being able to see the other side of the fence."

That said, Night Train to Lisbon is a very long, ambitious book that's feverishly overwritten. (...) Think of W.G.
