About this title

Synopsis:

Attorney Andrew Jordan spurns his successful career with a respected New Orleans law firm to embark on an adventure with a clairvoyant homeless man camped out in front of Andrew's office building

Review:

"The struggle between what we know is real and what we want to believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, is beautifully depicted in Andrew Jordan's confusion." LORI WILKERSON Washington Observer-Reporter

"One would have to look carefully to find a contemporary genre in American letters in order to properly locate Charles Hebert's novel, "Swimming to Atlantis." Judith Guest's "Errands into the Wilderness" comes to mind. Perhaps too the work of Tobias Wolff, especially in "This Boy's Life." Mr. Hebert, like these authors, writes about the nature of the human soul, the geography of the soul." ROBERT ROECKIEN, JR. Writing Instructor, Rutgers University -- Publisher Comments
