An Open Swimmer - Softcover
A fishing trip marks the end of Jerra and Sean`s friendship, although once, when they were younger and more innocent, it would have seemed unbelievable that the bond between them could ever be broken. But growing up has meant growing apart, the differences between them widening, sharpening their teasing words into something crueller and less easy to forgive.
`Both a serial romantic and a truly gifted novelist` Mariella Frostrup, Mail on Sunday
`Winton`s writing is a heady blend of muscular description, deep sentiment and metaphysics` Sunday Telegraph

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jerra and his best mate Sean set off in a beaten-up old VW to go camping on the coast. Jerra's friends and family want to know when he will finish university, when he will find a girl. But they don't understand about Sean's mother Jewel, or the bush or the fish with the pearl. They think he needs a job but what Jerra is searching for is more elusive. Only the sea, and perhaps the old man who lives in a shack beside it, can help. Winton's debut novel is a haunting and powerful meditation on the horrors and joys of adulthood, and the conflict between ideals and reality. Winner of the Australian/Vogel Award for Best First Novel, this is at once a haunting and powerful exploration of the horrors and joys of adulthood. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780330412582
