Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. About the AuthorMax Porter is the author of Grief Is the Thing with Feathers, which won the International Dylan Thomas Prize and The Sunday Times/PFD Young Writer of the Year Award, and was short-listed for The Guardian First Book Award and the Goldsmiths Prize.Product DescriptionLonglisted for the 2019 Booker PrizeAn entrancing new novel by the author of the prizewinning Grief Is the Thing with FeathersTheres a village an hour from London. Its no different from many others today: one pub, one church, redbrick cottages, some public housing, and a few larger houses dotted about. Voices rise up, as they might anywhere, speaking of loving and needing and working and dying and walking the dogs. This village belongs to the people who live in it, to the land and to the lands past.It also belongs to Dead Papa Toothwort, a mythical figure local schoolchildren used to draw as green and leafy, choked by tendrils growing out of his mouth, who awakens after a glorious nap. He is listening to this twenty-first-century village, to its symphony of talk: drunken confessions, gossip traded on the street corner, fretful conversations in living rooms. He is listening, intently, for a mischievous, ethereal boy whose parents have recently made the village their home. Lanny.With Lanny, Max Porter extends the potent and magical space he created in Grief Is the Thing with Feathers. This brilliant novel will ensorcell readers with its anarchic energy, with its bewitching tapestry of fabulism and domestic drama. Lanny is a ringing defense of creativity, spirit, and the generative forces that often seem under assault in the contemporary world, and it solidifies Porters reputation as one of the most daring and sensitive writers of his generation.ReviewMax Porter does damaged psyche well. . . . In Porters winning new novel, Lanny, despair and unsettling entities are again on the menu, as are hard-won grace and beauty.-The New York Times Book ReviewA hybrid morality tale about environmental awareness, parenthood, and growing up, Lanny is enriched by its textures and stylized approach.-The New YorkerPorters framework has enabled him to write a book that is part poetry and part prose, where each main character feels like a member of a chorus delivering a soliloquy, some humorous, many others pained.-Washington PostA striking work of experimental fiction and a fine follow-up to Porters Grief Is the Thing With Feathers.-USA TodayA dreamy whodunnit.-WSJ Magazine[Lanny is] a bravura performance - of language and understanding at their outer and innermost limits.-Star Tribune (Minneapolis)Put Lanny at the top of your to read list and be prepared for sentences that take your breath away.-Pioneer Press[Lanny is written] with an extraordinary verve thats by turns lyric, eerie, and comical. . . . Porter may also have written the first great Brexit novel: a book about the deepest, oldest, strangest sense of itself that England possesses.-4Columns[Porter offers] the ultimate incantation of nature and its pitiless sovereignty. . . . Lanny is one of the most beautiful novels of the past decade.-BookPagePorter's prose is undeniably gorgeous. . . . This novel about family, the power of the woods and the creative spirit, centered on a special young boy, will charm any reader.-Shelf AwarenessPorter is an enchanter with words. . . . Elegantly mysterious: a story worthy of an M.R. James or even a Henry James and a welcome return by an author eminently worth reading.-Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewIn his bold second novel, Porter combines pastoral, satire, and fable in the entrancing tale of a boy who vanishes from an idyllic British village. . . . This is a dark and thrilling excavation into a communitys legend-packed soil.-Publishers Weekly, starred review[Lanny] delivers quite the punch with its combination of unlikely effervescence, authentic emotion, and literary exploration. . . .
