Winner of the Miles Franklin Award and recognised as one of the greatest works of Australian literature, Cloudstreet is Tim Winton's sprawling, comic epic about luck and love, fortitude and forgiveness, and the magic of the everyday. After two separate catastrophes, two very different families leave the country for the bright lights of Perth. The Lambs are industrious, united and - until God seems to turn his back on their boy Fish - religious. The Pickleses are gamblers, boozers, fractious, and unlikely landlords. Chance, hardship and the war force them to swallow their dignity and share a great, breathing, shuddering joint called Cloudstreet. Over the next twenty years they struggle and strive, laugh and curse, come apart and pull together under the same roof, and try as they can to make their lives. 'This is that rare book, a novel of both heart and intellect. It pulses with a sense of wonder and shines with the clear light of truth.' Robert Drewe'One of the great masterpieces of world fiction.' Philip Hensher'If you have not read Cloudstreet, your life is diminished. if you have not met these characters, this generous community, these tragedies, the humour. It is so wonderful.' Mem Fox'*Cloudstreet* is a comic, poignant and intelligent tour de force.' Jim Crace'A groundbreaking Australian narrative [with an] irresistible combination of the domestic and the mythic.' Thomas Keneally'Reading Cloudstreet for the first time was like a summer dream from which I wished never to wake.' Gillian Mears'*Cloudstreet* is the sole epic of contemporary Australian literature: in it, Winton paints on the same canvas as Xavier Herbert and Patrick White.' Geordie Williamson'A writer of tremendous zest, warmth and humour.' Graham Swift'Reading Cloudstreet is like catching a wave.' Kate Jennings'Eccentric heights and unrepeatable genius.' Malcolm Knox.

LOUDSTREET is de geschiedenis van twee Australische families die door het lot onder één dak komen te wonen in een buitenwijk van Perth. Sam Pickles, een eeuwige gokker, verliest vijf vingers tijdens het verzamelen en machinaal verwerken van vogelmest. De dood van zijn oom werpt hem een riant huis in Perth in de schoot, maar zijn goklust zorgt er al snel voor dat zijn vrouw Dolly en zijn dochter Rose met lege handen achterblijven. Op dat moment duikt de religieuze familie Lamb op. Centrale figuur in deze boerenfamilie is de zoon Fish, die door een ongeluk tijdens het vissen een ernstige hersenbeschadiging heeft opgelopen en daarmee zijn broer Quick een niet aflatend schuldgevoel heeft bezorgd. Twintig jaar leven de families samen. Niets menselijks is hen vreemd: Dolly Pickles drinkt zichzelf bijna dood, haar dochter Rose vertoont anorexia- verschijnselen, buurvrouw Lamb slaapt niet meer bij haar man, maar in een tent in de tuin, haar zoon Quick ontvlucht de ban van de familie en verdient de kost met het afschieten van kangoeroes, terwijl zijn broer Fish lange gesprekken heeft met zijn als huisdier gekoesterde varken, dat in tongen spreekt. Onnavolgbaar portretteert de jonge Australische schrijver Tim Winton de meest bizarre figuren en gebeurtenissen in een roman die in Amerika en Engeland met onwaarschijnlijk veel lof is ontvangen. Cloudstreet werd op één lijn geplaatst met het beste werk van Peter Carey en David Malouf. , Physical, Paperback.
