This is narration of Chapter 5 of the novel MYSTERIOUS MATTERS OF MAX METTERS by PETER GELMAN. Chapter description: Max takes Meri to Lafcadio's Open Mike Night. Max and friends improvise "an experiment in bad rock-and-parole" (including "twicky twicky in the night"). Arthur wants to talk to Max but Max avoids him. Then Max and Meri walk through the snow to see a movie and figure out how to talk to each other. Novel description: Passion, philosophy, fisticuffs and word ferment... This is a “boy meets girl” story. Max discovers that Meri has a secret. He gives her every chance to tell it. Defiant, he even fights friends who try to warn him. Max vibrates with energy and feeling, an unrealistic way to live. This leads to troubled love affairs, complex friendships, tumbling thoughts and mad conversations. In the ‘90s, readers passed around the Do-it-Yourself photocopied pages of this punk rock romantic novel. Now, new readers can discover its vigorous “maximalist” voice that celebrates the sound and taste of words. Available as a paper book or ebook (Kindle, Nook): tinyurl.com/maxmetters .
