Episode One: The Girl in the Pink Bikini

A life in five photographs. 1/5 "Photograph number one. It used to be called Roadside. Some people call it The Girl in the Pink Bikini. Perhaps you recognise it. It won a prize."

"I鈥檓 going to try and explain myself. Lynn said she didn鈥檛 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鈥檝e chosen five photos. I鈥檓 going to try and tell a true story of myself with these five photographs and we鈥檒l 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.
