Breath Review' title='Breath Review' />How strange it was to see men do something beautiful, says the young narrator of Breath. Something pointless and elegant, as though nobody saw or cared. He is talking, surprisingly enough, about surfing, a multimillion pound international sport that nowadays hardly anyone thinks of in terms of not being seen. But there was a time, Winton tells us in his first novel since the Booker shortlisted Dirt Music, when surfing was the closest a man perhaps especially an Australian man could get to poetry. Twelve year old Bruce Pike, Pikelet, lives in Sawyer, near Perth in Western Australia, in the early 7. A small town of millers and loggers and dairy farmers, Sawyer is also home to Loonie, one year older than Pikelet and a boy congenitally incapable of turning down a dare. They meet in the local river, Loonie swimming to the bottom and holding his breath for upwards of two minutes with the sole intention of scaring tourists into thinking hes drowning. The boys spur each other on to greater and greater risks, to the point of vomiting and passing out. Anything for a rebellion against the monotony of drawing breath. One day, they sneak out on their bikes on a forbidden trip to the ocean and see a surfer skilled above all others, sliding down the waves with his head thrown back as if hed just finished singing an anthem that nobody else could hear. He turns out to be Sando, a huge, bearded, coiled up presence, whos reached the ancient age of 3. Soon the boys have their own, barely adequate, boards and Sando becomes something like their guru. They live in frightened awe of him, subconsciously competing for his attention. In return, he sets them bigger and bigger challenges surfing in a remote bay frequented by a great white shark, risking their lives in the huge waves of Old Smoky a reef bank a mile offshore and ultimately taking on the Nautilus, a remote, ship wrecking rock that spawns waves of great ugliness and insane danger. Cartoons For Apple Ipod Blood-C: The Last Dark. It is here that Pikelet reaches his own Waterloo, being unable out of pure fear and no small dose of good sense to surf the Nautilus. Sando and Loonie both take it on, though, and soon a gulf opens up between Pikelet and them. Sando takes Loonie to Indonesia to surf without even telling Pikelet theyre going, and Pikelet begins to collapse under his loneliness. But all this time there has also been Eva, Sandos spiky, unpleasant wife, resentful of the time Sando is spending with his little disciples and more than willing to heap abuse on all three of them. As the years pass, and Sando and Loonies trips grow longer, Pikelet and Eva find themselves reluctantly drawn to one another. A sexual relationship develops, even though Pikelet is not yet 1. Eva used to be an extreme skier, one of the best in the world, before a severe knee injury ended her career, leaving her with a permanent limp. She is, in a way, a version of Pikelet, knowing what excitement is and then suffering from its abrupt withdrawal. I miss being afraid, she tells him. Thats the honest truth. Then the sex takes an unexpected turn, forcing Pikelet into a situation far beyond the emotional capabilities of a 1. Tim Winton is a novelist of estrangement from ones community, ones family, oneself. In the excellent The Riders, also Booker shortlisted, a man and his daughter search Europe for the wife and mother who has suddenly removed herself from their lives without explanation. Dirt Music tells the story of a disillusioned housewife falling for the local outcast and drifting further and further from polite society. These are books about hurt and lonely people, but they are saved from moroseness by the quality of Wintons writing. Like jumping into a cool brook on a hot day, his prose is clear and refreshing, and surprising in its sharpness. Breath lacks some of the sweep of his previous two novels there are moments when things feel a little rushed but it has the urgent clarity of a story that needed to be told. Ive no idea how autobiographical it might be, but Pikelets age matches Wintons, and the pressing immediacy of personal investment is on every page. Because, finally, this is not a story about surfing its a story about fear, about pushing beyond fear, and about becoming addicted to the pushing. Moreover, its a story about the price of being more than ordinary. Pikelet is forever condemned to be Salieri to Sandos Mozart just talented enough to know how much more talented the real geniuses are. Greatness, in whatever realm, burns, even if you touch it just for a moment. Thirty years on, a grown Pikelet still judges every joyous moment, every victory and revelation against those few seconds of living. But, tellingly, he also still surfs, still does something completely pointless and beautiful, and in this at least he should need no explanation.
