Acclaimed Australian author Tim Winton has twice been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for The Riders and Dirt Music. His book of short stories The Turning has been made into a film which is about to be released in New Zealand cinemas.
He talks with Kathryn Ryan about writing, his love of western Australia, and his latest novel Eyrie - the story of Tom Keely, who is divorced, unemployed and living in a seedy flat at the top of a Fremantle high-rise block.
