Rent Hatched: Celebrating 20 Years of the Tim Winton Award for Young Writers

Synopsis

A wonderfully eclectic mix of fantasy and reality, adventure and reflection, this anthology collects together the stories of the overall winners of the Tim Winton Award for Young Writers from 1993 to 2012

This diverse group of short stories has one thing in common: talented young authors. "Orwell's Children" describes everyday objects and activities in futuristic ways; "The Untouchable" reflects on the importance of language and explores the idea of identity; and in "The Piano Man," a piano player's neighbors step in when a debt collector threatens to take his piano from him. Whether pieces of feverish fantasy or works of gritty realism, this collection features works from Australians most gifted young writers.
