The intimacy of nude swimming, water encasing the body, the way a river flows and connects to other bodies of water, the life that lives in its depths, the fact we have not descovered much of the ocean which holds secrets we cannot reachโฆwater is a queer thing, and a theme found continually in queer stories both minutely and wholly encompassing
Adult-audience fiction mostly, some mature YA
