Episode Two: Portrait of My Mother
A life in five photographs. 2/5 "“I’m going to walk the dog” she said “and when I get back, could you take a photograph of me, please, in front of the house.”"
"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.
