Sobre IBD

BOOK SUMMARY/SYNOPSIS:The Swimmer is a disenchanted octogenarian who decides to abandon his home on the island for whatever may come next. Wearing his speedo, his fins and goggles, he crosses oceans, swims in streams, camps by the local swimming pool and enters in and out of a local senior home via the tub in physical therapy - all in search of answers: answers to a forgotten promise that he made long ago to people who were dear. Different mixtures of prescription medications render an array of different special powers based upon the order and combination of the drugs that he takes, but he has yet to discover which combination will render to him which power - if any. During his time at the residence, he earns a following of staff and residents whom he leads in various adventures - all in an effort to remember is promise.
