Gripande och poetisk roman om skuld och vrede, fantasi och barndom.

Shy är en orostyngd tonåring, en farlig ung man , utstött från ett samhälle som inte längre vill ta hand om honom. Shy vet att samhället inte har svikit honom, det är han som har svikit samhället föräldrar, skola, vänner och ibland flickvänner. Nu bor han på Last Chance, en internatskola för pojkar i hans situation. Här befinner han sig nu, kvart över tre på morgonen, och brottas med det som kan komma att bli hans sista beslut i denna värld.

Max Porter är tillbaka med en roman som bjuder på både mörker, humor och stor medmänsklighet. Shy är en berättelse om att vara förlorad i mörkret, och att inse att du inte är ensam.

Levande scener bryter fram som blixtar i dimma [...] ett fängslande porträtt av en vilsen pojke i nittiotalets Storbritannien. Guardian

Max Porter har ett sätt att skriva som inte liknar någon annans. Jag älskade Shy. Den lämnade mig hänförd och tårögd, lycklig och förfärad, förändrad av resan. PJ Harvey

Max Porter debuterade med internationellt hyllade Sorgen bär fjäderdräkt. Max är född 1981 och bosatt i Bath med fru och barn. Han har flera års erfarenhet som bokhandlare och förläggare på Granta Books, nu skriver han på heltid.

There's a village sixty miles outside London. It's no different from many other villages in England: one pub, one church, red-brick cottages, council cottages and a few bigger houses dotted about. Voices rise up, as they might do anywhere, speaking of loving and needing and working and dying and walking the dogs. This village belongs to the people who live in it and to the people who lived in it hundreds of years ago. It belongs to England's mysterious past and its confounding present. But it also belongs to Dead Papa Toothwort, a figure schoolchildren used to draw green and leafy, choked by tendrils growing out of his mouth.Dead Papa Toothwort is awake. He is listening to this twenty-first-century village, to his English symphony. He is listening, intently, for a mischievous, enchanting boy whose parents have recently made the village their home.

It''s Going to be a Bright New Day: Would You Rather, with Bonnie ''Prince'' Billy is Max Porter asking Will Oldham questions. Will Oldham has to say whether he would rather one thing, or another. Many topics are covered, including music, sex, cuisine, literature and travel. Some people believe that the Would You Rather format is better suited to a long car journey than a pamphlet, but we disagree. It works just fine on the page. More than that, it''s very interesting and occasionally profound.

"In strömmade ljudet av en sång, varm av hans levande väsen. Mitt sjungande barn som kommer med gåvor. Det tar en liten stund innan jag förstår att det inte är han. Lanny?"

Efter hyllade Sorgen bär fjäderdräkt följer Max Porter upp med en efterlängtad roman som är lika osannolik som den är djärv, märklig och fantastisk. En salig blandning av fabel, folksaga och roman med inspiration från muntlig berättartradition. Resultatet är ren magi.

Inte långt från London ligger en liten by. Den här byn tillhör människorna som bor här, och de som bott här under hundratals år. Den tillhör Englands mystiska förflutna och förbryllande nutid. Den tillhör Mad Pete, ensamvarg och konstnär. Gamla Peggy som hänger över grinden och skvallrar med alla som går förbi. Den tillhör familjer som är borta sedan generationer, och sådana som bara nyligen flyttat hit. Den tillhör Lanny, pojken som plötsligt försvinner spårlöst. Men också Dead Papa Toothwort som vaknat från sin slummer djupt inne i skogen. Dead Papa Toothwort som lyssnar till dem allihop.

"Det är svårt att hitta ord för hur mycket jag älskade Lanny. Så här bra böcker dyker inte upp särskilt ofta. Det är en roman som inte liknar någon annan, det är uppiggande, oroande och rolig läsning som griper tag. Varje sida är pur glädje. Det här är en bok du ska sätta i händerna på alla du känner och säga Läs!" - Maggie O'Farrell

"Porters lyriska stil, intelligens och emotionella skärpa gör Lanny till en underbar liten bok som du kommer bli frestad att läsa om så fort den tar slut." - The Telegraph

"Max Porters andra roman är en fabel, ett kollage, en dramatisk kör, en jublande smältdegel av ord." - The Guardian

"Lanny är ett underbart verk, genljudande och kusligt och fyllt med drömlika, stilla ögonblick som rör sig mot en fängslande, livfull klimax." - The Independent

"Trots att jag läst den två gånger misstänker jag att Lanny kommer att vara en roman jag återvänder till igen, bara för att absorbera sällsamheten i berättelsen, skickligheten i strukturen, äktheten i dialogen och den eteriska mystiken som omger bokens titelfigur." - The Irish Times

Max Porter inledde sin karriär med Sorgen bär fjäderdräkt. Debuten hyllades av en enhällig press runt om i världen och har snarast blivit ett fenomen i Storbritannien. Max är född 1981 och bosatt i Bath med fru och barn. Han har flera års erfarenhet som bokhandlare och förläggare på Granta Books, nu skriver han på heltid.
