Über den Autor
Max Barry is an Australian, for which he apologizes. He is the author of the cult hit Syrup, although he spelled his name Maxx” for that novel, because it seemed like a funny joke about marketing, and I failed to realize everyone would assume I was a pretentious asshole.” He was born on March 18, 1973, and lives in Melbourne, Australia, where he writes full-time, the advantage being that he can do it while wearing boxer shorts.
