Lanny
Author: Max Porter
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages:
Fearless, chimerical and exquisitely formed, Lanny is a tour de force of style, substance and near-mythic power that interrogates the very form of the book itself. A child, a family, a village; a community built on ancient soil, shelter to generations of lives and the tales they tell. For all time, Dead Papa Toothwort has forever walked amongst them all. Now, he is drawn again from his slumber, drawn to something new and precious. The boy. Lanny. Fusing the modern with the mythic and the prosaic with the polyphonic, PorterÕs spare, spectral novel mines folklore, fable and the deep-dug tendrils of village life for something both age-old and vibrantly alive.
