Förlagets information

From beloved twice Booker-shortlisted novelist Tim Winton, a memoir in essays about art, landscape, family and the world we need to protect in order to pass it on to our children.

How do we keep going in a burning world? Songs from the Firefront is a vital and moving memoir in essays from Tim Winton, twice Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Cloudstreet and The Riders.

A memoir in essays, Songs from the Firefront is a book about the sacred fragility of existence. Deeply personal, brimming with anger and humour and love - for family, for the beautiful, brutal Australian landscape - Tim Winton's writing invites you into the world of one of our greatest living writers.

Here he admits to stupidity alone in a vast canyon, paddleboards out to sea to visit the local dugong population, and tells of the horror and sadness of watching as his neighbourhood is lost to bush fires. He tells the story of how he became friends with Helen Garner, the travelling that allowed him to write Cloudstreet, and about the act of unconditional love a father might agree to after his beloved daughter has delivered her child.

From memories of his own childhood to what he sees in his grandchildren's future, Songs from the Firefront is a profound book about the world we live in and what we can hope to pass on. It's a call for solidarity and a testament to the deep joys and sorrows of family life.
