Glimpse a rare and intimate view of internationally bestselling author Tim Winton’s imagination at work and play, through these remarkable true stories.
In this remarkable work of nonfiction, Australia’s greatest novelist takes us behind the scenes, sharing the extraordinarily powerful true stories that have influenced his view of the world and fuelled his fiction.
Like those of his characters, Tim Winton’s life has been shaped by havoc. The Boy Behind the Curtain shows the unexpected links between car crashes and religious faith, between surfing and writing, and how going to the wrong movie at the age of eight opened him up to a life of the imagination. Behind it all, from risk-taking youth to surprise-averse middle age, has been the crazy punt of staking everything on becoming a writer.
By turns impassioned, funny, joyous, astonishing, Winton’s most intimate book to date is an insight into the man who’s held us enthralled for decades.
‘He makes complex art seem simple ... A body of nonfiction work that is (unsurprisingly) beautiful and brilliant and provocative, and (surprisingly) revealing ... It is this sight of the sacred in the ordinary that probably accounts for some part of why Winton's writing recedes from his imitators' reach.’
Sydney Morning Herald
‘That Winton’s nonfiction is as lyrical as his fiction goes without saying.’
The Guardian
'Tim Winton’s 28th book proves the much-loved Australian writer just gets better with age.'
