BREAKING NEWS! SPECIAL TIM WINTON LIVESTREAM SESSION ADDED: Due to overwhelming demand, Tim Winton's sold-out in-person appearance for BWF at The Edge Auditorium will now be livestreamed to a separate State Library venue, Auditorium 2 (and around half the price of the in-person event!). Audiences can all see Tim in person at the book-signing after the event.
He’s been writing about coastal life for over 40 years – but instead of publishing a new novel, this four-time Miles Franklin winner has delivered a three-part natural history series for television. What makes an artist step so far outside his lane at this stage of his career? How does a novelist reconcile a lifelong defence of ‘useless beauty’ with the urgent need for action? A reflection on writing in the throes of a climate emergency and extinction crisis.
