Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. First U.S. Scribner edition 2005, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. Winner of the 2005 Christina Stead Prize for Fiction. "Tim Winton's stunning collection of connected stories is about turnings of all kinds--changes of heart, slow awakenings, nasty surprises and accidents, sudden detours, resolves made or broken. Brothers cease speaking to each other, husbands abandon wives and children, grown men are haunted by childhood fears. People struggle against the weight of their own history and try to reconcile themselves to their place in the world. With extraordinary insight and tenderness, Winton explores the demons and frailties of ordinary people whose lives are not what they had hoped. [] Set on a coastal stretch of Western Australia, THE TURNING ranges in time from the seventies to the present. A few characters appear in several stories, gradually revealing themselves and the sources of their obsessions and rage. Winton is a master at capturing the urgency of memory, the way an entire life can be shaped by one event deep in the past. [] Yet these same broken lives often are illuminated and redeemed by nature, by the sheer magnificence of the Australian sky and sea. 'Right now,' says the narrator of one story, 'I don't care what happens . . . In the hot northern dusk, the world suddenly gets big around us, so big we just give in and watch.' In the presence of Tim Winton's immense talent, the reader, too, just gives in and listens." [jacket copy] "Winton writes with rare sympathy about memory and loss, and gruff tenderness about losers and dreamers. In THE TURNING, the same tropes and themes, the small towns and a stunning and unyielding landscape, offer him a great and enduring drama. He is a writer of supreme integrity and honesty."--Colm Toibin. "The writing is frankly brilliant . . . each story attains a sort of powerful beauty. Winton shows us how startling ordinary life is."--The Boston Globe. "What John Steinbeck was to California's Central Valley, Tim Winton is to the coastal region of Western Australia. . . Winton's ability to arrange the written word appears effortless."--San Francisco Chronicle. "Vivid, elegiac and humorous . . . THE TURNING bridges the gulf between short story and novel."--The Daily Telegraph. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket.
