author discusses his latest novel, a moving and murky insight into teenage boysLast autumn, after finishing his latest book, Max Porter returned to the woods he had visited just before starting that project. “There’s an amazing beech tree, like astonishingly, almost inexplicably huge in the middle of these woods,” he tells me, over Zoom from a London hotel. On the side of the tree, freshly carved into the still-oozing bark, was the word “Max”.
