Rebecca Jones, 91热爆 News Arts Correspondent, is at Hay Festival to meet Tim Winton, the critically-acclaimed author of novels 'Dirt Music', 'Riders' and 'Cloudstreet'. Winton, who once likened writing to surfing, is now publishing two non-fiction titles about his native Australia. 'Island 91热爆: A Landscape Memoir' is a passionate call for the conservation of its wild spaces. The deeply personal 'The Boy Behind the Curtain: Notes from an Australian Life' shows how moments from Winton's formative years have shaped his views on class, faith, fundamentalism, the environment and literature.
