Product Information
A beautiful, evocative, and sometimes provocative memoir of Australia's unique landscape, and how that singular place has shaped Tim Winton and his writing. From boyhood, Winton's relationship with the world around him--rock pools, sea caves, scrub, and swamp--has been as vital as any other connection. Camping in hidden inlets, walking in high rocky desert, diving in reefs, bobbing in the sea between surfing sets, Winton has felt the place seep into him, and learned to see landscape as a living process. In Island Home , Winton brings this landscape--and its influence on the island nation's identity and art--vividly to life through personal accounts and environmental history. Wise, rhapsodic, exalted--in language as unexpected and wild as the landscape it describes-- Island Home is a brilliant, moving portrait of Australia from one of its finest writers.

Reviews
Praise for Tim Winton "Winton, one of Australia's most acclaimed novelists, excels at conveying the shadowy side of his country's beauty." -- New York Times Praise for Island Home "Insightful and vibrant. . . . In part a love song to Australia and also an attempt to trace how this love affair began. . . . Island Home is a delight to read: Winton's words chink like loose change, a foreign currency, mysterious. But more than anything, the book is a call to arms, a manifesto. It beseeches us to revere the land that sustains us, crying out to us for help." -- Guardian "Winton's Australia is teeming and brimming and shrieking and squawking with life." -- Sydney Morning Herald Praise for Eyrie " Eyrie is a dark but dazzling study of people and places on the edge. . . . In [Winton's] hands, with his distinctive Australian voice and vernacular, this disquieting story also has the power to surprise and delight--perhaps even to inspire." -- New York Times Book Review "The beginning of the book is fueled by the astonishing, limber prose that has made Winton one of the most celebrated writers in Australia. Of the many achievements of this extraordinary novel, one of the most remarkable is the way the the past gradually spills into the present. . . . In a book full of terrific characters and sharply drawn relationships, the most memorable is the bond between Keely and the seemingly doomed Kai. It's heartbreaking." -- Washington Post "A brilliant tour-de-force." -- Seattle Times "Fans of Mr. Winton will expect lucid characterization and atmospheric prose; the author finds poetry in the grimmest scenes. Eyrie has all this plus a page-turning narrative that tumbles inexorably towards its ending. This is Tim Winton in searingly good form." -- Economist Praise for Breath "Majestic . . . charged with physical danger, physical courage, and Winton's brand of rugged introspection." -- New York Review of Books "Stunning in the depth of its audacity . . . limitlessly beautiful prose." -- Washington Post Book World "Darkly exhilarating . . . A tautly gorgeous meditation on the inescapable human addiction to 'the monotony of drawing breath,' whether you want to or not." -- New York Times Book Review "Both a hymn to the beauty of flying on water and a sober assessment of the costs of losing one's balance, in every sense of the word." -- New Yorker, Praise for Tim Winton "Winton, one of Australia's most acclaimed novelists, excels at conveying the shadowy side of his country's beauty." - New York Times Praise for Island Home "Insightful and vibrant . . . In part a love song to Australia and also an attempt to trace how this love affair began . . . Island Home is a delight to read: Winton's words chink like loose change, a foreign currency, mysterious. But more than anything, the book is a call to arms, a manifesto. It beseeches us to revere the land that sustains us, crying out to us for help." - Guardian "Winton's Australia is teeming and brimming and shrieking and squawking with life." - Sydney Morning Herald "Like Wordsworth, Winton understands and feels the 'abiding power' of certain places. . . . The writer of memoir can be triumphantly personal, quixotic, eccentric, risky, and daring. In Island Home , Winton is all of these. This most exquisite of prose writers eases stylistic discipline out a notch or two. . . . The last chapter of this inspiring, sometimes painfully frank, wonderful memoir is called 'Paying Respect,' and . . . its clarion call is Blakean: everything that lives is holy." - Australian Book Review " Island Home is a powerful and poetic read, an expression of Winton's intense love of the land and the sea, and for Australia's unique flora and fauna." - Weekend Herald (NZ), Named a "Top Ten Memoir for Spring 2017" by Publishers Weekly Praise for Tim Winton "Winton, one of Australia's most acclaimed novelists, excels at conveying the shadowy side of his country's beauty." -- New York Times Praise for Island Home "Insightful and vibrant . . .
