MYSTERIOUS MATTERS OF MAX METTERS by Peter Gelman (audiobook podcast)

MYSTERIOUS MATTERS OF MAX METTERS: Peter Gelman's punk rock romantic novel of the 1980s. It uses a vigorous word-crushing "maximalist" approach to prose fiction, in defiance of the era's terse, inexpressive, helpless, despairing "minimalism". Passion, philosophy, fisticuffs and word ferment.... A podcast audiobook in 21 chapters (plus 1, the introduction). Recording progress now (2013). Written in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, in 1990-1991. Now available as a paper book in popular bookstores, as well as an Ebook for Kindle, Nook and other formats.
