73) William Kotzwinkle, Swimmer in the Secret Sea, 1975
A couple in a remote part of Canada have a baby, the baby dies at birth, the baby is buried. It's been described as Kotzwinkle's best and is worth seeking out; the focus on all the life that the surrounds this event is what gives this novella its unsentimental tone, yet it doesn't fail to leave a very melancholy aftertaste.
