A little about The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer
"We are each the love of someone's life." So
begins this love story. What is at first an opening line will be echoed
throughout the story, will be its theme, and will ultimately drive its
characters until their ends. Written by Andrew Sean Greer, The Confessions of
Max Tivoli tells the life of a man born backwards, exiting the womb with the
body of a seventy year old man and the mind of a baby, growing both old and
young at the same time. His life is hopelessly intertwined with those of his
two friends, Alice and Hughie, in a love triangle that exists only because its
participants remain nearly oblivious of their roles as objects of unattainable
affection.
