Hello, I'm Claire Nicholls, and it is time to cast your votes for your favourite ever Australian books for Radio National's Top 100 Australian Books Count.
This count is a celebration of wonderful Australian writing.
And here on the book show, we're all in.
I have Holly Ringland ready and waiting to chat to you.
And before that, I'm getting you in the mood by bringing you a series of fresh interviews with some of Australia's best writers, looking back to their seminal Australian works.
Last time, it was Helen Garner and Monkey Group, and today it's the iconic Western Australian novel of family, fate, a living house and a breathing river.
It's Tim Winton and Cloud Street.
That's the start of Cloud Street, a story of two working class families, the Pickles and the Lambs, thrown together by the shifty shadow of fate to live together at number one, Cloud Street.
Tim Winton published Cloud Street in 1991.
It won him his second Miles Franklin Award.
And seemingly overnight, the book became a beloved Australian classic.
Tim Winton, hello.
You've been writing books for more than 40 years.
You know, you've got 12 novels to your name.
What place does Cloud Street have in your heart?
So you were a young man, I think you're in your early 20s when you started writing Cloud Street.
You still had the long hair.
I'd just love to know more about the man you were when you were writing this, where you were at in your career, how you felt about things.
