I listened to this audiobook of #TimWinton #TheRiders. It's from the early 90s. Imagine my surprise to learn that filming for a film version, starring Brad Pitt and produced by Ridley Scott, has just commenced.

But central to the book is that the protagonist, who will be played by Pitt, is ugly.

I just really really enjoyed Cloudstreet by #TimWinton.
Two captivatingly castarophies of family units living under one roof in post-war Australia. Thankful to Matilda bookshop in Adelaide’s hills for the rec to start there.

In the car yesterday listened to #TimWinton at #AdelaideWF #Podcast #ABCRN
If you loved #Ningaloo on TV, you should probably listen to this. He's talking about his new book #Deuce, ( I must get it), & he says a lot of very gritty but encouraging stuff. ( In his typically beautiful way with words).

JUICE – Tim Winton (2024) Jesse over at Speculiction put this book on my radar, naming it one of the best books he read last year, as well as the best book published in 2024. He compared Juice to Kim Stanley Robinson’…

New review up on Weighing A Pig, about #Juice by #TimWinton

The book is easy to recommend, even though its post-apocaliptic doom is way too optimistic. #clifi #scifi

In the middle of Juice by Tim Winton at the moment, and it is extremely close to the bone with regards to what lies ahead. A must read for 2025. #juice #timwinton #dystopianfiction

Read it. Just read it. One of the best books I have ever read. The imagination and writing skills of Tim Winton are breathtaking. Reminds me of the impact made on me by Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaids Tale. #climatechange #timwinton #future #musk #margaretatwood

Several heavyweights in the arts industry have launched the ‘Save Our Arts’ campaign ahead of a predicted Easter federal election:

This is an incredibly prescient and timely book by
#Timwinton - a dystopia that strangely feels plausible... and a fantasy about how those responsible for environmental devastation will be dealt with. 💙📚

“We lived eight months of the year above ground. You could still do that on the coast in those latitudes when I was a boy.” #Juice #TimWinton was introduced as a ‘prophetic voice’ at his brilliantly composed, literary-rich #richardjohnson lecture. Podcast #cpx ⁦#PaperbarkWords blog

Remembering Kevin Brennan: teenage master of Bondi’s waves but a drug-fuelled disaster on land ‘Kev the Head’ won two state surfing titles on the same day in 1965 at the tender age of 15. But fame and drugs dragged him into a maelstrom he never escaped

Juice by Tim Winton review – life after the apocalypse Set centuries from now, this gripping tale of retribution against the corporations who fuelled climate breakdown has echoes of Cormac McCarthy

Started reading Tim Winton’s latest book “Juice”. 📕

Wow!
I don’t often read fiction, but this story is worth leaning into…
and allowing oneself to feel it deeply.

Perfect companion in between watching the #ICJ #ClimateCase public hearings these past few days…

Just finished this. Love to hear your thoughts? #timwinton #juice

This book is so raw, so beautiful, so terrifying. It’s dry heat and it’s panic and it’s anger.
I also learnt the great Australian term “cunt-struck”.
I had to listen to the last chapter three times to get it. I got it, at least I think I did, and it hit hard. Read it. #juice #timwinton

A book with two of my favourite things. Tim Winton and dystopian.

"With one deft swipe or a single clumsy mistake he could kill me. In a heartbeat. But we just turn our heads, he and I, making eye contact, feeling each other’s presence the best we can, as long and as close as we dare."
Beautiful story before diving into the more recent below.

He told the room: “For, who else in the corporate world, sailing so close to reputational oblivion, could feel that safe and so confident?"

"Securing a just and sustainable future will require many things to be smashed and cleared away. Not reformed incrementally but removed entirely. The opportunity for ameliorative tinkering has already been squandered." #TimWinton in @guardianaustralia.bsky.social
