Summary
Tara June Winch: Swallow the Air
The book Swallow the Air with pictures, scenes and the internal rhyme of the sentences tells about the broken connection of the people with tradition, about the individual's search for his own being, the paths taken by the old tribal hunters and fishermen, through the water clock. The search for new water is the main driver of rituals and the source of myths of that nation of dreams and dreams of a life without space and time limitations. But when java scatters dreams, and the water clock stops measuring the time of history because there is no more water, the plowing of memories and memories must be stopped, the crying must be stopped. Then you have to swallow the air, breathe and live. Swallow the air, says Tara, breathe and live. In short, that is the message of this first book by an Australian author of Aboriginal origin.
