June 9 15, 2007 ISSUE NZ LISTENER

Great interview by Philip Matthews with Tim Winton, the undoubted star of the recent Auckland Writers & Readers Festival while Denis Welch caught up with another Aussie star from the Festival, Kate Grenville.

Read an excerpt from the Tim Winton piece here and an excerpt from the Kate Grenville piece here. Better still, buy the Listener and read them in full.

Tim Winton pic is one of two fine studies by Jane Ussher that appear within the Matthews story.
