At his birth, Max's father declares him a nisse, a creature of Danish myth, as his baby son has the external physical appearance of an old, dying creature. Max grows older like any child, but his p hysical age appears to go backward--on the outside a very old man, but inside st ill a fearful child.The story is told in three acts. First, young Max fal ls in love with a neighborhood girl, Alice, who ages as normally as any of us. M ax, of course, does not; as a young man, he has an older man's body. But his cur se is also his blessing: as he gets older, his body grows younger, so each succe ssive time he finds his Alice, she does not recognize him. She takes him for a s tranger, and Max is given another chance at love.Set against the historic al backdrop of San Francisco at the turn of the twentieth century, Max's life an d confessions question the very nature of time, of appearance and reality, and o f love itself. A beautiful and daring feat of the imagination, The Confessions o f Max Tivoli reveals the world through the eyes of a monster, a being who conf ounds the very certainties by which we live and in doing so embodies in extremis what it means to be human.…
