Max’s Folly
Max 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.
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.
In Max’s Folly, Bill Turpin leads us on a rollicking rollercoaster ride through Max’s 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.
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.
Max’s Folly, Bill Turpin’s slightly unhinged bildungsroman, nimbly leaps back and forth over Max’s timeline with a gratifying verve.
