BBC Radio 4 - The Photographer by Max Porter, Episode Four: English Landscape

A life in five photographs. Original fiction series by Max Porter, read by Tim McInnerny.

A life in five photographs. 4/5 "I stopped to take this photo when I was on my way to see my dead friend’s mum. Killing time."

"I’m going to try and explain myself. Lynn said she didn’t think a normal biographical approach would get me very far. No point plodding through childhood, school, college, assignments, awards. People can find that on Wikipedia, Lynn said.

She suggested I use my photos. Sometimes actual photos, sometimes my memory of them, or my memory of taking them.

So I’ve chosen five photos. I’m going to try and tell a true story of myself with these five photographs and we’ll end up with Jack. With me, and Jack, and what happened with that."

An original fiction series by Max Porter, author of Lanny, Shy and Grief is the Thing with Feathers. Read by Tim McInnerny.
