Tim Winton in conversation with Martin Flanagan

In this candid and extensive interview following the release of his new novel, Breath, Tim Winton talks to Martin Flanagan about the influences on his writing, his relationship to his work, and the difficulties he’s faced as a writer. In a wide-ranging conversation, Winton discusses the place of water and drowning in his books; the moment of Cloudstreet’s break-out success; Western Australia, and the endearing but troubled Fremantle Football Club. This conversation is exclusive to SlowTV.
