Readings is delighted to be hosting Max Porter to discuss his most recent book, Shy.

From the bestselling author of Grief is the Thing with Feathers and Lanny, Shy is the polyphonic story of a troubled teenager, with all of the humanity and trademark invention we expect from one of our most exciting writers.

We are tremendously excited to be able to offer you the chance to listen to Porter speak about his work.

Free, but bookings are essential.
