I can't believe I'm saying this, but today we are joined by two legends: Cillian Murphy and Max Porter. Cillian and Max have collaborated as co-curators of the Sounds From A Safe Harbour Festival in Cork, Ireland, as well as the theatre adaptation of Max’s book Grief Is The Thing With Feathers. The book is a hybrid of prose and poetry about a crow visiting a grieving family.

Now, they’re working together on the adaptation of Max's novella Shy, now a Netflix movie called Steve. The original book is a lyrical novella about a boarding school for troubled boys, documenting the chaos of one boy’s mind, whose name is Shy. Steve is actually very different from the novel, instead named after the head teacher at the school. In the film, he’s played expertly by Cillian Murphy. Cillian is an Irish actor, winner of a BAFTA, Golden Globe, and of course an Oscar.

I sat down with the two of them to discuss this experimental and exciting project, and their love for books in general. Thank you to Netflix for making this happen!!
