Max's Folly

Max's Folly

By Bill Turpin

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.

Reviews

Max’s Folly, Bill Turpin’s slightly unhinged bildungsroman, nimbly leaps back and forth over Max’s timeline with a gratifying verve.

Atlantic Books Today

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.
