Part of his autobiographical trilogy (alongside Island Home and Land’s Edge), it shows why Winton is as compelling in non-fiction as he is in novels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAcross these true stories, Winton traces the chance events and hard knocks that shaped him: a childhood lived with one eye on trouble, brushes with danger and luck, and the long, uncertain gamble of choosing a life in writing. The voice is intimate and unguarded—by turns funny, tender, and bracing—without ever slipping into self-mythology.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003ePerfect for readers who love Australian memoir, coming-of-age reflections, creative life stories, and anyone curious about the forces that shape an artist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAdd it to your shelf and discover the moments that made Tim Winton.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52276657062164,"sku":"9780143785996","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9780143785996_1.jpg?v=1774592064","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/the-boy-behind-the-curtain","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
