In Scission, Tim Wintons first collection of short stories, the world he paints is often harsh and disturbing, inhabited by isolated, unforgiving characters. It is a world at once familiar, filled with the trappings of home and family, and yet also strangely twisted; a world where casual brutality and unexpected death are never far from the surface.

Evident in a young girls violent temper once the eggs she has so jealously guarded finally hatch, or in the careless indifference of the woman stepping over a soldiers spreadeagled body, Tim Wintons world is a place where dysfunction and disorder constantly threaten the equilibrium. But there is compassion and beauty there too whether its in the brush of a fathers hand against his young sons cheek, or the neighbours who wait patiently to celebrate the arrival of a new baby.
