MYSTERIOUS MATTERS OF MAX METTERS 01

This is an introduction to the novel MYSTERIOUS MATTERS OF MAX METTERS by PETER GELMAN. It explains how and why I came to write it in 1991 Mexico. I talk about "maximalist" and "minimalist" literary styles. (Previous name: Skull of the Robot.) The narration of the story begins in episode 2. Novel description: Passion, philosophy, fisticuffs and word ferment... This is a “boy meets girl” story. Max discovers that Meri has a secret. He gives her every chance to tell it. Defiant, he even fights friends who try to warn him. Max vibrates with energy and feeling, an unrealistic way to live. This leads to troubled love affairs, complex friendships, tumbling thoughts and mad conversations. In the ‘90s, readers passed around the Do-it-Yourself photocopied pages of this punk rock romantic novel. Now, new readers can discover its vigorous “maximalist” voice that celebrates the sound and taste of words. tinyurl.com/maxmetters DangerQuestMysteries.com
