Tim Winton at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

Only dreamers or the desperate would cross the vast saltland
deserts of Western Australia. So which is Jaxie Clacton, the
lonely boy at the heart of Tim Winton’s brutal, tender novel The
Shepherd’s Hut? It’s the latest masterful work by one of the
world’s greatest living novelists. In this event recorded live at
the 2019 Edinburgh International Book Festival, Winton’s first
visit to Edinburgh since 1993, he looks back over an oeuvre that
includes classics such as Dirt Music, Cloudstreet and Breath, in
conversation with John Williams, Daily Books editor and writer
for The New York Times.
