Abel Jackson's boyhood belongs to a vanishing world. On an idyllic stretch of coast whose waters teem with fish, he lives a simple, tough existence. It's just him and his mother in the house at Longboat Bay, but Abel has friends in the sea, particularly the magnificent old groper he meets when diving. As the years pass, things change, but one thing seems to remain constant: the greed of humans. When the modern world comes to his patch of sea, Abel wonders what can stand in its way. Blueback is a deceptively simple allegory about a boy who matures through fortitude, and finds wisdom through living in harmony with all forms of life. It is a beautiful distillation of Winton's art and concerns.

Crawley: UWA Publishing. 5 THE EDITING AND PUBLISHING OF TIM WINTON IN THE UNITED STATES Per Henningsgaard hen writing about Tim Winton, it is de rigueur among Wacademics to observe that relatively few scholarly articles or books have been published on the subject of Winton’s work. For example, Robert Dixon writes, ‘Winton…has had surprisingly few academic articles written about his books: Andrew Taylor’s article in Australian Literary Studies1 is a rare exception’.2 Nathanael O’Reilly observes something similar in his review of Salhia Ben- Messahel’s Mind the Country: Tim Winton’s Fiction, touted on its back cover as ‘the first book-length critical study’3 of Winton: He is arguably the most popular Australian writer within Australia. Nevertheless, surprisingly little criti- cism has been published on Winton’s work, especially when compared to Peter Carey and David Malouf, both of whom published their first novels not long before Winton.4 And while this observation may be losing its currency as more and more scholarly articles and books (not least the present volume) are published on the subject of Winton’s work, it is still possible to claim that, simply by focusing on Winton, this Critical_essays.indd 122 13/05/2014 12:34 pm The editing and publishing of Tim Winton in the United States chapter is swimming against the scholarly currents of Australian literary studies.

  • Blueback by Tim Winton
    Teachers’ notes written by Dr Susan La Marca Blueback by Tim Winton PLOT Abel Jackson’s life is intimately entwined with the environment in which he lives. Throughout his childhood, Abel and his mother Dora have depended on Longboat Bay for all that they need. The waters and land of the Bay both sustain and enrich their lives. Despite this idyllic image they lead a hard, basic life. Whilst diving for abalone, Abel befriends an enormous fish who lives off the shores of the Bay. Abel names the groper Blueback and the fish becomes a symbol of the Bay for Abel, representative of everything he loves about his home and also a clear measure of the health of the Bay for Abel and the others who depend upon it for their survival. As he grows Abel must move away from the Bay for school but his heart remains with the Bay and Dora, he is inextricably linked to this place and to Blueback. As time passes, Abel pursues a career in studying the sea and this work takes him away from the Bay but his links to home remain strong. The message of environmental sustainability is at the forefront of this novel. Eventually it is Dora who sees what is needed to protect the Bay – she lobbies hard for the area to be protected and, in achieving this aim, thwarts those who would develop the area purely for financial gain. This novel is an account of Abel’s life journey, and as Dora’s life moves to a close, he returns to establish a life for himself in his true home.
