Graham Swift is a British novelist best known for 'Waterland' (1983) and 'Last Orders' (1996), whose work explores the relationship between history, memory, and narrative authority.
'Waterland' — a history teacher's narrative that spirals between his personal history, local fenland history, and classroom breakdown — gave Nolan his first encounter with a narrator whose unreliability is not a trick but a condition of knowing anything at all.
