Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

As witty and warm as it is laugh-out-loud funny, "Uncle Max" follows the adventures of a gawky adolescent on the cusp of homosexuality who discovers an unlikely hero in his outrageous, irreverent Uncle Max. Together, this daring duo embarks on a glorious madcap adventure that will change young Dillon's life forever.<P>Fourteen-year-old Dillon is a self-described nerdy band fag in desperate need of a summer reprieve from gym class and torment by the school jock. Alas, that isn't to be — not after his born-again mother, Lana, stumbles across his stash of empty wine bottles and Sears catalog pages featuring scantily-clad male models. Alarmed at the diabolic evidence of Dillon's drunken, perverted nocturnal hobbies, Lana concludes that Bible Camp is his only hope.<P>But before he can say "hallelujah, " Dillon's salvation materializes — fabulously shirtless and smoking a French cigarette. Perpetually on the lam, Uncle Max needs a place to hang — and hide out — for awhile. Hot on his heels is an entourage that includes his parole officer, Meredith; his sexy mountaineer boyfriend, Serge; and fellow con artist/antiques dealer, Jane Nguyen.<P>Sprung from the proverbial closet, Dillon finds himself under Uncle Max's supervision for the summer, which entails Hitchcock films, Balzac novels, and a crash course in crime as Max and Jane's sidekick.<P>As July gives way to steamy August, and as the cops close in, one thing is certain — for Dillon, nothing will ever be the same again.

Synopsis:

Forced to attend Bible Camp after his mother discovers his pictures of scantily clad male models, fourteen-year-old Dillon finds his dose of summer salvation cast by the wayside when he encounters "Uncle Max," a flamboyant francophile on the run, and con-artist Jane Nguyen.
