Minimum of Two

Minimum Of Two is the second collection of short stories by multi award-winning Australian writer Tim Winton.

Jerra, a failed rock musician, chose marriage, and is now the stay at home carer who wonders where the music, happiness, and money of his earlier life has gone.

[3] Jerra's father accepts his illness (cancer), but rather than wallowing in it, decides to make the most of his remaining days.

Queenie Cookson is possibly the most successful, going back to her old town to confront her past demons, deal with them, and then be able to move on in her life.

[2] Since 2005, the anthology has been included in the VCE reading list, as an option for study by Year 11 and 12 English Students.
