by Andrew Sean Greer
Review this book!
Max is born old: he looks like a little old man. As he grows up, he gets younger and younger. His life is complicated not only by this quirk but by his love for Alice, who grows older as he grows younger. The action of the novel begins in 1871, in San Francisco, and ends in the 1930s.

Media Reviews
"Artifices indeed proliferate in Greer's nutty scheme for a novel, but if the reader can persevere beyond the first few convoluted pages...the delights are many, among them gossamer prose, vivid characterization,and historic snapshots of a fabulous American city."
