Shy

"Max Porter, the brilliant British author of experimental novels Grief is the Thing With Feathers , Lanny , and The Death of Francis Bacon , will return with Shy , the story of a troubled teenager escaping from a home for “very disturbed young men.” Porter consistently breaks new and interesting ground in his formally inventive, emotionally vibrant novels. Unmissable. You may also be interested to hear that R. F. Kuang, the author of many extremely popular fantasy novels including Babel and the Poppy War sequences, has made her first foray into literary fiction with Yellowface , which explores questions of cultural appropriation."
