We’re diving into the deep end of storytelling with Ben Brostoff, author of Trials: A Novel of Olympic Swimming Dreams and Redemption. It’s a swimming novel for swimmers written by one. Trials follows three swimmers — Hunter Banks, Connor Mahoney, and Miles Green — whose lives are intertwined by one defining moment: the 2004 Olympic Trials, where all three break the world record in the 400 IM. What follows is a two-decade journey through triumph and heartbreak, doping scandals, supersuits, world records, marriage, loss, and the relentless chase of a dream that refuses to die.
