'Max Porter is one of my favourite writers in the world.' George Saunders 'Beautiful and haunting.' Kevin Barry 'The strangest, most beguiling and affecting of all his books.' Ian Rankin 'A miracle of language.' Irish Times This is the story of a few strange hours in the life of a teenage boy. 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. He is feeling a little sorry for himself. Shy is a novel about imagination, guilt and boyhood. It is about being lost in the dark, and realising you are not alone. 'Contemporary fiction's bard of ugly beauty and exultant despair.' New Yorker 'An act of humanity and grace, heightened by its distinctive form and artistry.' Telegraph

'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 '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.', PJ Harvey
