Minimum Of Two is the second collection of short stories by multi award-winning Australian writer Tim Winton.
It is an anthology which consists of 14 short stories, seven of which feature the characters Jerra, Rachel and Sam Nilsam: They are written in a minimalist style typical of Tim Winton.
Perhaps the most prominent theme throughout all the stories is not necessarily the adversity these people are placed under, but the way in which they react to the problems confronting them. For example, Jerra Nilsam doesn't try to deal with his problems at all; preferring to accept his circumstances and be depressed about it. 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. Rachel doesn't address the cause of her problems, but moves on from them, determined to better herself with education and a career.
