Special Fields
DescriptionThe book is divided into three parts. The first looks at the themes in Winton's novels and the nature of the Wintonian character: a rootless being wandering in a hostile geographic and social space a fragmented but unique universe. The main themes are: family tales, loneliness, emptiness and voids, and the loss of innocence. The second section examines his narrative devices, and the final section considers aspects of the writers imagination, and shows how the environment in Winton's novels whether set in Australia or elsewhere is presented in an unmistakably Australian way. |
