Best-selling author Tim Winton to appear in Adelaide in October Best-selling author Tim Winton of Cloudstreet will be in Adelaide in October. TIM Winton, whose novel Cloudstreet topped a poll of our most loved books, will appear in Adelaide in October to mark the publication of his much anticipated new work, Eyrie. The public event at Elder Hall on October 20 represents a coup for Adelaide Hills bookshop Matilda's, which will host Winton's appearance. It will be the third event in a national tour, following those in Winton's home state Western Australia. Winton whose last novel Breath won him his fourth Miles Franklin Award, has written 25 books for adults and children since his first novel, An Open Swimmer, won The Australian Vogel award in 1981. Tickets for the Elder Hall event can be booked online or by phoning 8313 5925 or 8313 5286.
