Description
Book SynopsisMax has been a freelance reporter dodging bullets in Latin America, a small-time newspaper editor who delights in infuriating his publisher and, finally, a flack for a communications company -- the elephant's graveyard for journalists. But none of this compares with the terrors of assisted living, so instead Max risks everything on something he's kept secret until recently: his increasingly unreliable ability to travel in time. In turn laugh-out-loud and poignant, replete with dark humour, sarcasm, wise-cracking characters and satire, this debut novel is going to ring some bells and stir some pots.
Trade Review"A journalist adrift in time, a cast of wacky characters, an astute writer who deeply enjoys language: what's not to like? Max's Folly is a delight worldly, quirky, droll and utterly engaging." -- Silver Donald Cameron, author, film-maker & host of TheGreenInterview.com.
"In Maxs Folly, Bill Turpin leads us on a rollicking rollercoaster ride through Maxs non-linear time-space continuum as he pieces together the memories of a fully lived life now slipping away from him. A marvellous debut novel from a major new talent." -- Stephen Kimber author of "What Lies Across the Water: The Real Story of the Cuban Five"
"Bill Turpin's debut novel is ultimately a joyful, touching, and often very funny novel about loss lost love, lost memory, and above all, the lost art of good old-fashioned newspapering." -- Theo Moudakis, Toronto Star cartoonist
