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.
Review I just adore Max's writing . . . Shy broke my heart. -- Cillian Murphy
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
Shy is an act of humanity and grace, heightened by its distinctive form and artistry. -- Luke Kennard ― Telegraph
Shy is the strangest, most beguiling and affecting of all his books. -- Ian Rankin
A troubled boy's psyche is presented in a shattered mosaic that contains within it the hope of new forms and new beginnings - this is a beautiful and haunting book, and it captures with a great artistry the resonance and rhythms of its era. -- Kevin Barry
Loved this book. A real gut-punch, but with sunlight lurking behind the clouds.' Richard Osman -- Richard Osman
A perfect book . what a miracle of language this book is . a stunning feat. ― Irish Times
The substance of Shy is Shy's inner turmoil; Porter conveys it beautifully . It is virtuoso -- Kevin Power ― Guardian About the Author Max Porter is the author of The Death of Francis Bacon, Lanny, a Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller and longlisted for the Booker Prize, and Grief Is the Thing with Feathers, winner of the International Dylan Thomas Prize. He is the recipient of the Sunday Times/Peters Fraser + Dunlop Young Writer of the Year Award. His work has been translated into thirty-three languages.
