Scission by Tim Winton
An extraordinary collection of tales about breaking hearts and jagged lives, from a master of the short story.
Tim Winton is the real thing: a writer who can photograph a thought and pluck out the beat of a soul on a washing line* Scotland on Sunday *
Winton is boisterous and lyrical by turns; his sense of sentiment is unerringly accurate, his characters unforgettable. The emotional control exercised over his anarchic world puts Winton in the top drawer of Australian fiction. * Daily Telegraph *
Winton’s compassionate and humorous writing is nothing short of magnificent. If you can imagine Neighbours taken over by the writing team of John Steinbeck and Gabriel García Márquez, you’re close. * Time Out *
