Lanny (novel)

Lanny is the second novel by Max Porter, published in March 2019. It is a missing-boy story, set in an English village within commuting distance of London. The book was described by Tim Smith-Laing in The Telegraph as being "between novella, long poem, and grief memoir", and by John Boyne in The Irish Times as "experimental fiction". It is named after the missing boy.

Lanny is set to be adapted into a film, produced by The Bureau and BBC Film, starring Rachel Weisz.

In 2026, Bristol Old Vic Theatre announced that they are producing a stage adaption of the novel, to be adapted by Bea Roberts and directed by Nancy Medina.
