Penguin Modern Classics: Cloudstreet by Tim Winton, ISBN 9780140273984

> Fiction Books > Classics Books

The Modern Australian Classic.

From separate catastrophes two rural families flee to the city and find themselves sharing a great, breathing, shuddering joint called Cloudstreet, where they begin their lives again from scratch. For twenty years they roister and rankle, laugh and curse until the roof over their heads becomes a home for their hearts. A funny, sprawling saga of love and acceptance.

Winner of the Miles Franklin and NBC Awards in Australia.

About the Author: Tim Winton

Tim Winton

Timothy John Winton (born 4 August 1960), known as Tim Winton, is an Australian novelist and short story writer.
Tim Winton was born in Perth, Western Australia, but moved at a young age to the regional city of Albany.
Winton has been named a Living Treasure by the National Trust and awarded the Centenary Medal for service to literature and the community. He is patron of the Tim Winton Award for Young Writers sponsored by the City of Subiaco, Western Australia.
He has lived in Italy, France, Ireland and Greece but currently lives in Fremantle, near Perth, Western Australia with his wife and three children.
His younger brother is solo musician Andrew Winton and his younger sister is Sharyn O'Neill, the current Director General of the WA Education Department.
Whilst at Curtin University of Technology, Winton wrote his first novel, An Open Swimmer, which won The Australian/Vogel Literary Award in 1981, launching his writing career. He has stated that he wrote "the best part of three books while at university". His second book, Shallows, won the Miles Franklin Award in 1984. It wasn't until Cloudstreet was published in 1991, however, that his writing career was properly established. His latest novel, Breath, was published in 2008.

Reviews of Penguin Modern Classics: Cloudstreet by Tim Winton

Cloudstreet
Reviewed by Larissa, 11/12/2008

An engaging and moving story of two disparate families who are brought together by fate and hardship to live side by side. Winton's vivid depictions of Western Australian locations - town and country, river and coast - along with his very real characterisations transport the reader right there beside the hardworking Lambs and the degenerate Pickles as they struggle through life in their own ways. Rich with symbolism, the story is written in a meandering, flowing style, evocative of the river which is such a recurrent feature throughout the entirety of the novel.
