The Confessions of Max Tivoli

<b>From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of <i>Less.</i></b><br><br>'Here is a writer of great daring and originality . . . Max Tivoli may even make you cry.' Peter Carey<br><br><b>Max Tivoli is writing the story of his life. He is nearly seventy years old, but he looks as if he is only seven - for Max is ageing backwards. The tragedy of Max's life was to fall in love at seventeen with Alice, a girl his own age - but to her, Max looks like an unappealingly middle-aged man. But when Max reaches the age of thirty-five, with an appearance to match, he has his second chance at love. But happiness eludes this star-crossed couple, and desperate measures are required. </b>
