Winner of the Australian/Vogel Award for Best First Novel, Tim Winton's An Open Swimmer is a meditation on past and present, a story of madness and murder, and of the punishing yet redemptive qualities of both fire and water. A fishing trip marks the end of Jerra and Seans friendship, although once, when they were younger and more innocent, it would have seemed unbelievable that the bond between them first forged by their fathers, and later sealed with their blood 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. Wintons writing is a heady blend of muscular description, deep sentiment and metaphysics - Sunday Telegraph

Wintons writing is a heady blend of muscular description, deep sentiment and metaphysics. * Sunday Telegraph * His elegiac novels are uplifting and cathartic dissections of fractured men and women. * Independent * Winton has a fine ear for both intimate and monumental scales of drama. * Evening Standard *
