Diane Strubel whispering to \u201cI\u2019ve Got a Secret\u201d host Garry Moore,\u00a0 4 Nov 1959. (Full episode here<\/a>.) Diana Nyad swam around Manhattan in 1975 and still claims to be the first woman to do so. She was the seventh.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yesterday\u2019s\u00a0Facebook Live Video<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 \u201cJoin us in celebration, today, the 5th Anniversary of the Cuba Swim Expedition\u2026\u201d\u2014mainly involved Diana Nyad, before a small audience on the deck of a boat, talking about herself. She also introduced friends and family who, when they spoke, talked about Diana Nyad.<\/p>\n

She couldn\u2019t get through her part without a nod to the backlist:<\/p>\n

The best men, women, fast, strong, young swimmers in the world have tried this swim. It\u2019s the Mt. Everest of the earth\u2019s oceans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To review: Only five people besides Nyad have attempted solo crossings of the Florida Strait (see \u201cEverybody\u2019s Doin\u2019 It<\/a>\u201c). And the Florida Strait is NOT the Mt. Everest of the earth\u2019s oceans. Only one person claims that it is (see \u201cp. 244<\/a>\u201c).<\/p>\n

Earlier, Nyad had enumerated her\u00a0bilge-bucket list of what \u201cthe next things are.\u201d Here\u2019s the final entry:<\/p>\n

I want to perform on stage and bring this story to life in a dramatic, storytelling way, and be known as one of the better storytellers of our time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other words, she\u2019s gotta be storyteller\u00a0#1, and she\u2019s not going away any time soon.
\n<\/p>\n

><((\u0317(\u0302(\u00b0>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\u00b0))\u0302)\u0316)><<\/p>\n

Most of the audience members are familiar characters: Bonnie Stoll, Candace Hogan, former partner Nina, sister Liza, and photographer\/acolyte Catherine Opie who, while interviewing Diana after her Cuba-Florida triumph, said:<\/p>\n

One of the things that has been most incredible to me in terms of\u2026following you through this process is the utter honesty in it. (\u201cDiana Nyad & Catherine Opie<\/a>,\u201d 34:04)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Neighborly Thoughtfulness at Sea<\/h5>\n

At about 16:00, though, we meet two people we haven\u2019t met before. They are Diana Nyad\u2019s neighbors. Diana ate dinner at their house once. Someone recently murdered their son.<\/p>\n

\u201cI invited them to come today,\u201d Nyad says, \u201cbecause they\u2019re grieving, unspeakably.\u201d Celebrating Diana on the open sea will ostensibly help. Inviting them \u201cseemed like the right thing,\u201d Nyad declares. So, she introduces them by name to the world, cameras rolling, so that we\u2019ll never forget\u00a0[begin sarcasm]<\/em> the thoughtfulness of Diana Nyad. [end sarcasm]<\/em><\/p>\n

If Nyad really invited her neighbors out of genuine sympathy, out of a sincere desire to help, she wouldn\u2019t have put them on display. Nyad invited them, however, not for her own benefit. She revels in stories of horrific suffering. She uses those stories in an attempt to demonstrate that she’s not a pathological narcissist, that she can<\/em> care about others and thus deserves our admiration.<\/p>\n

Nyad employs this subterfuge throughout her oeuvre. Remember it. We will see it again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
