Tim Winton is one of Australia's most celebrated and popular writers. He's known for his powerful, gritty novels and short stories that explore life in Western Australia's coastal and rural settings. He focuses on ordinary working-class people navigating life's challenges, moral dilemmas and moments of transformation in his fictional back of beyond.The Turning is a collection of 17 interconnected short stories with overlapping characters and events viewed from different perspectives and time-periods. There's trauma, loss, regret, grace, kindness, play, light, laughter and more in the two short stories we will read and discuss. "Reunion" and "Defender" will leave you with much to ponder and appreciate. Don't miss it! Mark the date, read the stories, and come, let's talk!
And yes, reading short stories is rewarding not least because the length allows us to slow down, be more attentive and reflect better both on the language and the themes. If you enjoy English and love reading, sign up and come to connect and share!
