The stories in Tim Winton's inspired Minimum of Two make the ordinary extraordinary.
Tim Winton's characters are ordinary people who battle to maintain loyalty against all odds; women, children, men whose relationships strain under pressure and leave them bewildered, hoping, sometimes fleeing, but often finding strength in forgotten parts of themselves.
'Like Hemingway, Winton writes prose in which you can hear the thumping of the heart of the long-distance swimmer, or the rasping heaving breath of the asthmatic.' Times on Sunday
'A poignant collection of spare, understated tales about ordinary people battling to preserve the relationships they treasure in the face of many troubles.' Cleo
'Shows more clearly than anybody ever has how catastrophe, suffering and love can survive together in one little room.' Los Angeles Times

This will remain a treasured favourite. Winston’s unique storytelling so minimal yet powerfully impacting never ceases to amaze me. He captures the Australian voice and human condition like no other.

Poignant and grey Stories. Very well written. Instantly created a visual in the minds eye and felt the pain of the protagonists in all stories.
