About the author

Max Porter

Worked as a bookseller and then an editor before writing anything of his own, and the first book is barely a novel at all. Grief Is the Thing with Feathers puts a widowed father, two small boys and a crow from Ted Hughes's poetry in a London flat, and moves between verse, fable and plain speech.
