An Open Swimmer, winner of the Australian Vogel Award, is the remarkable first novel by Tim Winton, one of Australia's most loved and respected writers.
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, find a girl and make his mark.
But they don’t understand the marks he’s already made and those he wears in secret. What happened with Sean’s mother, Jewel? And why is he searching for the fish with the pearl?
'Winton draws together a delicate pattern of images and tensions and energy. His first novel, it is a work of energy and restraint.'
The Good Reading Guide
'Winton's writing is a heady blend of muscular description, deep sentiment and metaphysics.'
The Sunday Telegraph
'Both a serial romantic and a gifted novelist'
The Mail on Sunday
