Grief Is the Thing With Feathers

"In his masterful debut novel Grief is the Thing with Feathers, Max Porter offers a poetic and beautifully rendered meditation on love, grief and the transformative power of art. Told in compressed yet striking prose, it centers on a husband — a father of two boys — who is trying to process his wife’s sudden, accidental death. Each sentence and page carries the air of a song, drawing in the reader with its deep wisdom and dazzling language."
