'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<br /><br /><br />'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
