Reviews

Tim Winton is a favourite novelist of mine. Always has been. So to read The Boy Behind the Curtain, his collection of autobiographical stories and essays, was a total joy. Here are the influences that shaped Cloudstreet, Breath, The Riders, et al. In one essay, he writes about the gut-churning process and despair of fiction writing. I felt sick. Wonderful
*Sarah Winman, Guardian, Best Books of 2017*

I love Tim Winton's writing, and this treasure trove of autobiographical stories and essays is packed with enthralling insights into his life and work
*Bookseller (Editor's Choice)*

One of Australia’s best-loved novelists. Melancholy but humorous, lyrical but boisterous . . . will delight even
those unfamiliar with his fiction
*Daily Telegraph*

Eclectic and impassioned, it is a collection that affirms the power of the written word and Winton’s mastery of it
*Observer*

One of the greatest writers ever to emerge from Down Under . . . this is a real memoir – a book that grabs you by the scruff and forces you to take a good, hard look into the author’s soul. Compelling, unflinching and true, it’s surely the definitive statement on Winton the man
*Scotsman*

The bard of the beach-front
*Economist*

A masterclass in turning appalling incidents into meditations on mortality, fatherhood and responsibility
*Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent*
