Max in America April 2020
A lot has happened since I was last in the US. The world became a dark dystopia ruled by corrupt oligarchies. Data-driven marketing companies sucked up our fears and turned them into products. The book publishing industry fell into crisis.
Ha ha! I’m kidding. It was all like that already.
If you’ve never seen me in person, boy, are you missing out. I mean, the accent alone, you can’t even imagine. So what happens at these things is first I talk about whatever’s on my mind. I’ll be traveling with my daughter this time, so, you know, brace yourself for some insights on what it’s like to take a 14-year-old Australian around the US on book tour.
Then I read from the new book a little. But not for long, because, really, you can read it yourself. That’s why we printed all these copies.
Then comes my favorite part, where people ask questions about whatever. Writing, NationStates, why Australian Rules Football is the greatest sport in the world: you name it. This is really the bread and butter of the bookstore event for me. Any kind of situation where people will sit and listen to my opinion on things, that really works for me.

I also sign books. The new book, older books, you name it. I will sign anything not nailed down. Although if all you want is a signed Providence, you can contact one of the bookstores and we’ll arrange that without you having to leave home. I mean, that’s not my preference. But I want you to know that option is available.

So very glad for you you're touring all those US-sounding places. Are you going to follow the Democratic candidates in your tour by any chance. Might be more than interesting... Be careful not to order Mexican food with good Spanish pronunciation. They're deporting them by the thousands, those pesky human beings catalogued as 'migrants'.
Anyhow, when are you touring Oz? I mean, this is your completely burnt-out, formerly smoke-choked country, an absolute environmental disaster, and to boot, a Pentecostal PM who believes only the goody-two-shoes who believe will be saved. Repent ere it's too late!
I hope you did not inhale too much smoke over the summer. I was forced to. It almost reminded me of happier times when I would inhale other flavoursome smokes. Cough! Splutter! Not good! Looking forward to 'Providence'!
