Unresolved Connections: Tales of Journeys to Unvisited Places
In the foreword to Around the Bend (again), Bruce Reeve wrote Whats really fun for Max is writing about whatever
he damn well pleases. In the past this has even included science fiction and romance novels, which remain stuffed in a drawer somewhere ... The six diverse stories tucked in between the covers of Unresolved Connections have all spent time in that drawer, or at least its mental equivalent. In each, the reader is invited down uncommon roads to places rarely visited. Reality remains an occasional travelling companion throughout but rarely dictates the route or circumstance, and never does it get in the way of the telling. Accompanying the words are several of Maxs own illustrations, each a coinage of his mind spent whenever he felt the need. Or the desire.
Unresolved Connections invites a reader to abandon disbelief and come travel with Max to fantastical places unburdened by the restraints of known horizons, places that until recently were only found in a drawer somewhere.
