(Book recommendation from JMG). Just out in paperback,
The Turning is
a stunning collection of 17 linked short stories set in a Western Australian town called Angelus : adolescence, middle age and the moments that make us what we are, especially the 'turnings' in our lives. Always powerful, written in a sharp and sensuous prose. Start with the first, 'Big World', an ironic title for a resonant tale about hopes and disappointments. 'Small Mercies' could be an entire novel. There's hardly a weak story here.
Tim Winton is a serious talent.
