Author's abstract: Tim Winton's work is often populated by strong females and weak males. In his novel The Riders, the author explores the subject of masculine anxiety over the current transformation of gender roles. The protagonist's trip to Europe is an occasion for a journey of self-discovery that leads him to reconsider his relationship with his wife and daughter and his general attitude to life.
