Tim Winton is one of Australia's most decorated living writers — a four-time Miles Franklin winner (Shallows, Cloudstreet, Dirt Music, Breath) and twice Booker-shortlisted. Raised in Western Australia, he's spent his career writing the state's coastline into literature, the ocean a near-constant presence in his work.Tim Winton will be in conversation with Michaela Kalowski to discuss his latest book, Songs From the Firefront, a memoir in essays about the sacred fragility of existence.
Deeply personal, brimming with anger and humour and love – for family, for the beautiful, brutal Australian landscape – Tim Winton’s writing invites you into the world of one of our greatest living writers and asks the question, how do we keep going in a burning world?
From memories of his own childhood to what he sees in his grandchildren’s future, Songs from the Firefront is a profound book about the world we live in and what we can hope to pass on. It’s a call for solidarity and a testament to the deep joys and sorrows of family life.
There will be activity in the foyer after the event for book purchase and signing.
