Reviewed by Jean-François VERNAY Tim Winton has written his way to become the darling of Australian readers who enjoy his rich prose evocative of the south-western landscape which he calls home. He can be regarded as a left-leaning writer who has a close affinity with the people and es- pecially the land which he celebrates in his stories. His coastal narratives invariably viv- idly depict rural communities functioning in harmony with the beach culture. Winton’s focus is domestic, if not personal, fathoming the cultural and psychological impact of the Australian land.

    McCredden, Lyn 2013, Dreams of belonging: Tim Winton's Cloudstreet, Reading Australia. This is the published version. ©2013, Lyn McCredden Reproduced with the kind permission of the copyright owner. Available from Deakin Research Online: http://hdl.handle.net/10536/DRO/DU:30056269 Essay by Lyn McCredden Reading Tim Winton's rollicking, heartbreaking, hopeful saga, Cloudstreet, you are immersed in Australia: its histories, its peoples, its changing values, and its multiple longings. It is Australia imagined large and sprawling, but also in ordinary, intimate detail from a particular dot on the map: working class Perth, Western Australia, from the 1940s to the 1960s. Humorously, lyrically and poignantly, the novel probes questions of where and how to belong. Always already transient and haunted, belonging is a precious but fragile dream, in the midst of family, friends and neighbours. As the Pickles family move into the big, trembling house at number one Cloud Street, It's just them in this vast indoors . there's a war on and people are coming home with bits of them removed . women are walking buggered and beatenlooking with infants in the parks . [the Pickles] have no money and this great continent of a house doesn't belong to them. They're lost. (Winton p. 51) The novel is, of course, only one person's re-imagining of place and time, and for some critics there are omissions, blindnesses and flaws in this vision. However, the fact remains that Author Cloudstreet is a phenomenon; an astoundingly popular novel, made into a television Tim Winton mini-series, adapted to stage, and in 2012 voted the most popular Australian novel by viewers of the ABC's First Tuesday Book Club.

  • Tim Winton's Dirt Music EDITORS: Groth and Cummins 2 JASAL: Journal of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature 15.1 Lines Come to Him
    Tim Winton’s Dirt Music: Sounding Country/Re-Siting Place STEPHEN HARRIS University of New England Noise is sound out of place as dirt is matter in the wrong place. (Adam Mars-Jones) We hear white noise as one sound; however, by further processing we create new sounds. But the importance of comparing white noise to traditional musical sounds is the realisation that through white noise we reach sounds inaudible to the human ear—part of which I intuitively call the ‘river of sound’. (Toru Takemitsu, quoted in Toop 147). In Tim Winton’s novel, Breath (2008), the narrator, Bruce Pike, gives voice to an idea Winton places at the centre of his earlier novel, Dirt Music: ‘I’ll talk if no one’s listening. It’s like blowing the didjeridu, cycling air through and through, doing little more than explaining yourself to your self while you’re still sane enough to do it’ (21). Having been kinked out of psychological alignment through youthful explorations of extreme states, Pike tells his story for the purpose of explanation, not exculpation—as he insists above, ‘blowing the didj’ is a form of recuperative self-communion equated with talking to one’s self. He has perhaps discovered nothing more than the fact that playing the instrument affords a rudimentary therapeutic function. In narrative terms, the reference to ‘blowing’ the didjeridu appears to carry little dramatic or symbolic weight. Yet, when it is revealed that he has learnt ‘to sustain the circular breathing necessary to keep up the low, growling drone you could send down the valley…’—‘I liked the way it sucked energy from me and drew hard feelings up the way only a good tantrum could when I was little…I blow until it burns…and the wind goes through me in cycles, hot and droning and defiant’ (152/9)—the act of ‘sounding’ the drone assumes a richer allusive resonance.

  • Tim Winton, Cloudstreet and the Field of Australian Literature
    <<Please read the copyright notice at the end of this article>> Robert Dixon: Tim Winton, Cloudstreet and the field of Australian Literature Author: Robert Dixon Title: Tim Winton, Cloudstreet and the field of Australian Literature Journal: Westerly Imprint: 2005, Volume 50, November, Pages 240-260 Let me begin by saying what I'm not going to do in this paper: I'm not going to do what used to be called a “close reading” of Tim Winton's Cloudstreet. I'm not going to wheel out a theoretical approach through which to interpret the text, as if the reading I could produce by that means were somehow more authoritative than any other. Instead, what I will do is situate Winton's career and this particular novel in what can be called the field of Australian literature. In using this term field, I mean to indicate the whole system involved in the production and reception of Australian literature. This is now a very broad spectrum of institutions, personnel, practices and values that is surprisingly complex and diverse. It is now so extensive that it isn't even confined to Australia. And academic literary criticism — in the sense of theoretically-driven textual analysis — is only one part of that field. Many would say that it's not even the most important part. This idea of a “field” derives from the work of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu.1 Much of Bourdieu's work was done on French art culture of the nineteenth century, but it has been widely used in recent years as a tool for thinking about how other culture industries work, including print culture, cinema and music.

  • Tim Winton: Abjection, Meaning-Making and Australian Sacredness
    Tim Winton: Abjection, Meaning-making and Australian Sacredness LYN McCREDDEN Deakin University Tim Winton’s fiction has divided critics. His writing has been characterised as nostalgic (Dixon), as too Christian (Goldsworthy), as blokey, and even misogynist (Schürholz). He has been pilloried on the blog site Worst of Perth, with its ‘Wintoning Project,’ which calls for contributions of ‘Australian or Western Australian schmaltz, in the style of our most famous literary son, master dispenser of literary cheese and fake WA nostalgia Tim Winton’ (online). And he has won the top Australian literary prize, The Miles Franklin Award, four times (Shallows, 1984; Cloudstreet, 1992; Dirt Music, 2002; and Breath, 2009). Winton’s oeuvre spans three decades. It remains highly recognisable in its use of Australian vernacular and its sun-filled, beachy Western Australian settings; but it has also taken some dramatic, dark and probingly self-questioning turns. While critics often look for common strands in an author’s oeuvre, it is revealing to consider developments and changes between individual works. How do the darker, more abject elements of Winton’s imaginative visions relate to the ‘wholesome’ if macho Aussie surfer image, or to the writer of plenitude somehow embarrassing to critics? Several potentially contradictory ‘turns’ have also been occurring in the Humanities across this period: turns to post-secularism, re-enchantment or the sacred (see CharlesTaylor’s A Secular Age, and Mark C. Taylor’s After God, both 2007, for two very different approaches to the category of the sacred); and differently, new research being conducted in the jostling but related fields of constructivism, performativity, and posthumanism (see Karen Barad’s influential 2007 text Meeting the Universe Halfway: Quantum Physics and the Entanglement of Matter and Meaning).

  • Tim Winton Dark Rubbled Places (Where There Is Only Crucifixion)
    Religion, Literature and tire Arts Project TIM WINTON DARK RUBBLED PLACES (WHERE THERE IS ONLY CRUCIFIXION) Elizabeth Guy I am caught in the dark rubbled places of Tim Winton's writing. Held by the magic of his imagination, lulled by the lyricism of his prose, I read of the ordinary, the inarticulate and the powerless within an Australian landscape. Winton,l the author of 13 books,2 is an enigmatic contemporary writer, who tackles questions of spirituality, God and meaning. For many he is a writer of families, growing up, and fairly nondescript events in domestic life. Winton recreates the Australian idiom for children, gamblers, fishermen, bushmen, pub-crawlers and so on, making his characters and their ordinary familiar lives accessible to the reader. Winton's writing is observational and images the traditionally unrepresented, that is, people who are trapped in the breaking and the destroying of life. For according to Winton, to exist demands creation and destruction. This is the central energy which explodes/implodes readerly assumptions. For a long time I have suspected that there is far more than meets the eye when reading a Winton text. In response to this observation he told me, 'rupture is all part of the possibility of meaning'.3 And I find the dichotomous and heterogeneous erection/destruction of various perspectives in his fiction both technically compelling and contextually subversive. The ruptures contained in these perspectives disorientate and relocate the reader. Ruptures endlessly defer closure and leave meaning contested. Winton works cracks into his fiction making the reader look at her /his assumptions afresh.

  • Geophysical Fictions Traversing the Works of Tim Winton and Cormac Mccarthy
    University of Southampton Faculty of Humanities English Geophysical Fictions Traversing the works of Tim Winton and Cormac McCarthy By Joel Found Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2016 i Abstract This thesis responds to Ocean Studies’ dissatisfaction with how literary geography is read metaphorically. Positioned in relation to geocritical, geopoetic and ecocritical endeavours, the present study brings this concern back to land, and builds a method of reading literary geographies that treads a patient and geophysically informed path to comprehending their metaphorical value. To achieve this, the thesis proposes reading literary geographies as forms of heterotopia: fictional and inaccessible, yet tethered to real-world geography and its geophysical dynamics. To realise the potential of this proposal, the core of the thesis is a comparative reading of Tim Winton and Cormac McCarthy, two writers praised for their attention to place. Prompted by geophysical, environmental, anthropological, historical and philosophical ways of understanding geography, the thesis traverses the rivers, paths, deserts, and cities that emerge in Winton and McCarthy’s fiction. Reading these spaces geophysically reveals connections between the two writers that have not yet been enabled by transpacific or transnational frames, appreciating the host of materialities beyond the Pacific that connect them and their thinking. Studying the presence of the fluvial cycle, lines, dust, and concrete in these locations prompts a diversity of metaphorical, symbolic, and literal ways of reading that develop ideas of national identity, gender, community, and crisis within their fiction. Comparing both writers geographically enables a communication that expands our understanding of their individual literary works, oeuvres, and networks.
