HTML:<p><b>A novel about guilt, rage, imagination, and boyhood, about being lost in the dark and learning you're not alone</b><br /> This is the story of a few strange hours in the life of a troubled teenage boy.<br /> <i>You mustn't do that to yourself Shy. You mustn't hurt yourself like that.</i><br /> 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.<br /> <i>Got your special meds, nutcase?</i><br /> 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.<br /> <i>The night is huge and it hurts.</i><br /> In <i>Shy</i>, Max Porter extends the excavation of boyhood that began with <i>Grief</i> <i>Is the Thing with Feathers</i> and continued with <i>Lanny</i>. But here he asks: How does mischievous wonder and anarchic energy curdle into something more disturbing and violent? <i>Shy</i> is a bravura, lyric, music-besotted performance by one of the great writers of his generation.<br /> EditBuild</p>.
