Max Linsky

Max Linsky was ripped from his quaint childhood home in Brookline, Mass., at the tender age of 13. Max was forced to survive purely on his own cunning in the mean foyers of a block of flats in the heart of New York City's roughest neighborhood – the upper west side. He attended private school and performed poorly on a mediocre football team. Following his graduation from Wesleyan University in Connecticut this past May, he moved to Cape Town, where he has written for a few magazines and done a comic strip about a white kid obsessed with hip-hop and oblivious to the realities of the New South Africa. On his way to St. Pete, he will stop at a pound somewhere in South Carolina and adopt a dog that he plans to name Florida Dog. He and Florida Dog will leave St. Pete for San Francisco, where Max hopes to get a job at a newspaper.
