Tim Winton’s Grandfather
Winton’s estranged friend appears in the essay “In the Shadow of the Hospital.” He calls Winton to ask him to visit him at Fremantle Hospital, having seen the roof of Winton’s house from his hospital window. This friend jolts Winton into considering the many people who look down from the hospital yearning for human connection, when previously he reduced the idea of the hospital to a monolith of fear and chaos.
