Max Porter: Lanny

Author of 2015’s widely acclaimed Grief is the Thing with Feathers, Max Porter, is heading to Sydney Writers’ Festival with his latest novel Lanny. Where his debut novella is a lyrical portrayal of grief and family, Lanny is similarly mysterious and enchanting – it tells the story of an English boy who attracts the attention of a mythical, menacing force. Join Wheeler Centre director Michael Williams and Porter as they talk about Porter’s extraordinary books, and the importance of what we will never fully understand.
