«The Confessions of Max Tivoli» is the literary fiction novel by Andrew Sean Greer, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (288 pages, in English).
Max Tivoli writes his memoirs in San Francisco at the beginning of the twentieth century. He is born with the appearance of an old man and ages backwards, so his body becomes increasingly young while his mind keeps growing. At seventeen he falls in love with Alice, who ages normally, and when at last his appearance matches his age, life gives him a second chance: to find her again without being recognized.
Originally published in 2004, this paperback edition from Faber & Faber came out in 2005. The novel is written in English and has 288 pages.
Suitable for readers of literary fiction who enjoy love stories marked by the extraordinary and the passage of time.
