An Evening with Tim Winton
About
We are thrilled to announce a special event with award-winning Australian writer Tim Winton who will speak about his new novel Juice with Newcastle Writers Festival director Rosemarie Milsom. This will be Tim's first Newcastle event and is supported by the University of Newcastle.Juice centres on two fugitives, a man and a child, who drive all night across a stony desert. As dawn breaks, they roll into an abandoned mine site. As a refuge, this is the most promising place they’ve seen. The child peers at the field of desolation. The man thinks to himself, this could work. The problem is, they’re not alone. So begins a searing, propulsive journey about survival, and how to maintain human decency as everyone around you falls ever further into barbarism.
MacLean's Booksellers is supporting the event and Tim will be signing books on the night. Please arrive by 5.30pm for a 6.00pm start. There will be limited door sales.
