From the bestselling author of Grief is the Thing with Feathers and
Lanny, Shy is a novel about guilt, rage, imagination and boyhood.
It is about being lost in the dark, and realising you are not
alone. '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 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. 'An act of humanity and
grace, heightened by its distinctive form and artistry.' Telegraph
