Mind the Country is the first book to critically study Tim Winton’s novels and short stories. Ben-Messahel shows how Winton’s themes are forcefully expressed through his vivid characters and stories and how these stories interact with and comment on each other. Through Winton’s love of Western Australia – its landscapes, seascapes and cities, Winton presents a theatre of the mind, creating scenarios of danger andsolitude, self-discovery and creativity. pp. x (incl map of locations of the Winton novels), 277 #0819
