This is narration of Chapter 8 of the novel MYSTERIOUS MATTERS OF MAX METTERS by PETER GELMAN. Chapter description: Oh curling land! How groan my heavy! How lusty my fatso! Sometimes Meri's ears are pincushions. Sometimes they are anvils. Yes, Max loves Meri and tries to understand her, but she makes him distracted and lazy! She doesn't tell him her secret. She was a smudged postage cancellation from Mystery Town. Meanwhile, a golden False Spring coagulates over the city. The length of this episode is about 15 minutes. 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 .
