Grief is the Thing with Feathers

by Max Porter

When a father and his two young sons are shattered by sudden loss, a trickster Crow arrives in their London flat—part grief, part protector, part Ted Hughes. Through fragmented prose and poetry, Porter crafts a darkly comic meditation on mourning, where myth and reality blur in the wreckage of family life.
