Totally agree with you Daniella.
Another great Australian author who has Winton-like moments, but actually ties things up is Andrew McGahan.
The White Earth was fabulous.
I don't think Winton's books are all about "Australian losers" That's a bit harsh.
Yes, he writes about Australians because he is Australian and it tends to be very character driven. But there's nothing wrong with damaged characters. That's life and it provides a richness to the reading experience. He's not bloody Dan Brown
