In this deeply personal collection of true stories and essays, Tim Winton explores how moments from his childhood and adult life have shaped his views on class, faith, fundamentalism and the environment, and - most pressingly - how all his experiences have made him a writer. Here are dawn walks on empty beaches, visits to church and to hospital and days paddle-boarding amongst humpback whales. Here are memories of terrible family trauma, passionate campaigns to save coral reefs, and pertinent investigations into the boundaries created by poverty. From unexpected links between car crashes and faith, between surfing and writing, to the story of his upbringing in the changing Australian landscape, The Boy Behind the Curtain is an impassioned, funny, joyous, astonishing collection of memories, and Winton's most personal book to date.
