Max Porter works in publishing. He lives in South London with his wife and children. Grief Is the Thing with Feathers is his first book.
In a London flat, two young boys face the unbearable sadness of their mother's sudden death. Their father, a Ted Hughes scholar and scruffy romantic, imagines a future of well-meaning visitors and emptiness.
In this moment of despair they are visited by Crow - antagonist, trickster, healer, babysitter. This self-described sentimental bird is attracted to the grieving family and threatens to stay until they no longer need him. As weeks turn to months and physical pain of loss gives way to memories, this little unit of three begin to heal.
In this extraordinary debut - part novella, part polyphonic fable, part essay on grief, Max Porter's compassion and bravura style combine to dazzling effect. Full of unexpected humour and profound emotional truth, Grief is the Thing with Feathers marks the arrival of a thrilling new talent.

Tears prickled nearing the end.
評分I missed her so much, the whole city of London is my missing her.
評分想到蘇菲卡爾的《痛》,以及羅蘭巴特的《哀痛日記》,
評分基蓮老師的話劇原著!像一首短小精悍的詩,陰鬱、憂傷,倫敦氣息十足。充滿隱喻的故事裏全是黑色幽默和諷刺。到瞭末尾反倒有瞭一絲自我救贖的意味。期待四月去看基蓮老師的演繹
評分寓言,文字遊戲,戲謔混閤著悲傷。這個cynical的烏鴉形象跟我看到簡介時想象的完全不同。兔安利。
