Max

Lou is now 32 - at least his memory is. Lou died 17 years ago. He is a fictional character but his problems are only too real and relevant today.

Michael Hyde's Max is a timeless classic about youth suicide, survivor gried and reconciliation.

'Michael Hyde describes rivers and beaches like a fast-lane thriller writer and he describes Max's misadventures like an artist. There's a lot to enjoy here - and a lot to think about.' - Jenny Pausacker

A kayak floats gently downstream on a river of dreams. Stories by their thousands run in subterranean currents telling Max that if he's here for no other reason at all, it is to tell his story.

Lou is dead. Killed himself. And now, everyone is worried about Max, his best mate.
