Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION AND PRINTING. Internationally acclaimed, immensely gifted, Miles Franklin Award (Australia's most prestigious literary prize)-winning author's fourth book. "Many of the stories that comprise 'Minimum of Two' are encounters with on…e family-Rachel, Jerra, and their baby, Sam-at pivotal moments in their lives. There is "Blood and Water," the story of Sam's momentous birth, and "Forest Winter," about hardships endured during a season of living off the land. There are also the more prosperous years of "Gravity," years that are nevertheless singed by memories of a parent's death, and "More," where we witness how obsession and a trivial infidelity can threaten a marriage. It is a testament to Tim Winton's virtuosity that 'Minimum of Two' can also contain stories as diverse as "No Memory Comes," about a young boy's efforts to bring back a simpler past, the time before his parents split up, and "Minimum of Two," the stark and violent title story, where a husband confronts his wife's convicted rapist. Finally, there is the hope and rejuvenation in nature that marks "Laps," the coda to Tim Winton's remarkable 'Shallows'." 14 short stories. 153 pages. Thin, light yellowing strips to DJ interior flaps. elsewise a fine copy in a mylar protective cover! LF.
