Mariella Frostrup talks to the award winning novelist Tim Winton about his latest book of essays The Boy Behind The Curtain. The prolific Australian writer, best known for novels Breath, Cloudstreet and Dirt Music, has remained steadfastly private about his life, lived away from the literary spotlight in a small town north of Perth. In The Boy Behind The Curtain, Tim Winton explores stories from his formative years which shaped and formed him as a writer; from his father's near fatal accident, to his enduring love for the ocean and riding the waves.
