Honest and Moving

Minimum of Two is a collection of short stories by Australian author Tim Winton. What makes them special is the honesty that Winton conveys with his own style. Many of the stories are very short and simply written on the surface, but when you read them you find what he doesnt say is as important as what he does. He conveys with a few well chosen words what less accomplished writers take pages and pages to come close to. His words give the reader room to think for themselves and make them more moving when a connection between writer and reader is established. Thats what makes him a special writer and this story collection worth having.
