’Winner of the 2002 Miles Franklin Literary Award.Features music from Dirt Music, The Album.Winner of the 2002 N.S.W. Premier’s Literary Award and the 2001 Book Data/ABA Book of the Year Award.Georgie Jutland is a mess. At forty, with her career in ruins, she finds herself stranded in White Point with a fisherman she doesn’t love and two kids whose dead mother she can never replace. Her days have fallen into domestic tedium and social isolation. Her nights are a blur of vodka and pointless loitering in cyberspace. Leached of all confidence, Georgie has lost her way; she barely recognises herself. In prose as haunting and beautiful as its western setting, Dirt Music confirms Tim Winton’s status as one of the finest novelists of his generation. Released: 2007
