Who Is Max?
Max is a novelist, poet, playwright, and a full-time practicing lawyer. He writes. He reads. He works. The bulk of his time is spent at the office. He will never read all the books by his bed or watch all the shows saved on his DVR. Max enjoys art, design, college basketball, ballet, modern dance and sacred music. J.S. Bach, Shakespeare, Rumi, Bob Dylan, Joseph Campbell, Secretariat (yes, the Horse) and Yeats are just a few of the greats that have had an impact on him. Max also is also a social commentator of sorts, and his occasional observations about the culture, travel, and, when he can’t hold it in any longer, politics. As he ages, it becomes increasingly obvious that Disgust will be the most likely cause of his death. How sad it is that Beckett may be right and there is nothing more to say. Yet we hope for something better. Max does too. Still.
