Publisher's Summary
THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
This is the story of a few strange hours in the life of a troubled teenage boy.
You mustn’t do that to yourself Shy. You mustn’t hurt yourself like that.
He is wandering into the night listening to the voices in his head: his teachers, his parents, the people he has hurt and the people who are trying to love him.
Got your special meds, nutcase?
He is escaping Last Chance, a home for ‘very disturbed young men’, and walking into the haunted space between his night terrors, his past and the heavy question of his future.
Critic Reviews
'Shy is the strangest, most beguiling and affecting of all his books.' Ian Rankin
'Max Porter has a way of writing unlike anyone else. I loved Shy. I finished it elated and tearful, joyful and terrified, changed by the journey. It moved me and surprised me and that is what I look for in my favourite artists.' P.J. Harvey
‘Max Porter is one of my favorite writers in the world. Why? Because he‘s always asking the most important questions and then finding ways – through innovative structures and that inimitable voice –of answering those questions soulfully, with his full attention, in ways that make the world seem stranger and more dear (or more dear because stranger). He gives his readers, in other words, bursts of new vision.’ George Saunders
