Dirt Music
by Tim Winton
novel by Tim Winton
Set in Western Australia, Dirt music tells the story of Luther Fox, a broken man who makes his living as an illegal fisherman. His life has become a "project of forgetting." Not until he meets Georgie Jutland, the wife of White Point's most prosperous fisherman, does Fox begin to dream again and hear the "dirt music"--Music you can play on a verandah or porch without electricity.
