terylene: He was a fraught little thing, says Winton of that boy – the boy he used to be, according to The Guardian. I feel related to him but I'm no longer completely him, thank god. A 13-year-old boy stands at the window of a suburban street, behind a terylene curtain, training a rifle on passersby. The passage opens a surprisingly intimate essay about the role of guns in Australian life, setting the tone for a collection being billed as Winton most personal yet. His first novel, An Open Swimmer, catapulted him into the public eye when it won the Vogel literary award in 1981, but it was his 1991 novel, Cloudstreet, that cemented his place in Australian letters. In spite of his inclination for solitude, Winton has spent much of his life in the spotlight.
