Bookshops. Like libraries, we just love them. They are places we can find a bit of romance, inspirational stories and even some murderous tales.

Set in a distant future where civilisation as we know it has crumbled, Tim Winton’s new novel takes the form of a post-apocalyptic odyssey. It opens with two fugitives, a man and a girl, driving all night across the desert – a nightmarish vision of the Australian landscape central to Winton’s work – in search of shelter. Exhausted and on the brink of desperation, they reach a mine, which looks like it could be a good resting place.

It is more or less impossible to imagine Australian literature of the past half century without Tim Winton. It was 1981 when his debut novel An Open Swimmer won the Vogel prize. Tim was a 21-year-old creative writing student at Curtin uni, and already in that first book were features that would become stylistic hallmarks: the characters, the perceptive insights into the inner life of a teen boy, the coast and the bush. It’s that last point that perhaps is Winton’s greatest legacy.

For the past three weeks, I’ve travelled the country meeting readers. Having spoken to 8000 people over that time, I was struck by the sense of pent-up fury in those I met. In every state and territory, packed town halls and auditoriums bubbled with anguish and boiled with a frustration that was palpable from the stage.
