George Saunders Beautiful and haunting. Kevin Barry The strangest, most beguiling and affecting of all his books. Ian RankinA miracle of language. Irish Times This is the story of a few strange hours in the life of a teenage boy. He is wandering into the night listening to the voices in his head: his teachers, his parents, the people he has hurt and the people who are trying to love him. He is feeling a little sorry for himself. Shy is a novel about imagination, guilt and boyhood. It is about being lost in the dark, and realising you are not alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContemporary fictions bard of ugly beauty and exultant despair.
