A life in five photographs. An original fiction series by Max Porter for Radio 4. Read by Tim McInnerny.

"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."

Max Porter is the author of Lanny, Shy and Grief is the Thing with Feathers.

Produced by Mair Bosworth for BBC Audio
