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 - first forged by their fathers, and later sealed with their blood - could ever be broken. Back then, though, they believed they were invincible, their friendship eternal - inevitable, even. But growing up has meant growing apart, the differences between them widening, sharpening their teasing words into something crueller and less easy to forgive.
Later, reading his grandfather's diaries, and rereading letters from Sean's mother, Jerra reflects on what he knows about love, family and the secrets that threaten them. At once a haunting and a powerful exploration of the horrors and joys of adulthood, An Open Swimmer is also a meditation on past and present, a story of madness and murder, and the punishing yet redemptive qualities of both fire and water.
