The Portobello Bookshop Exclusive Edition: Shy Signed & Dedicated Exclusive Edition

Max Porter will be visiting the bookshop to sign copies of our exclusive edition of Shy towards the beginning of April. Books will be sent out or made available for collection in the days following. Don't miss out on a signed & dedicated copy!

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.
