Description
A haunting and powerful exploration of adulthood's horrors and joys, An Open Swimmer is a story of growing apart and the differences that sharpen over time. A fishing trip marks the end of Jerra and Sean's friendship, one forged by their fathers and sealed with their blood.
The bond between them begins to fray as they grow older, their teasing words becoming crueller and harder to forgive. Yet, in this elegiac novel, Tim Winton finds a way to reconcile past and present, madness and murder, and the punishing yet redemptive qualities of fire and water.
