He maintains an e-mail correspondence with his estranged wife, though under a false identity; his incomprehensible teenage daughter prefers her BlackBerry to his conversation; and his childhood best friend refuses to return his calls. In an attempt to get out of this horrible rut, Max quits his job at the local department store and accepts a strange business proposition that has him driving a Prius full of toothbrushes from London to the remote Shetland Islands. But Max's trip doesn't go as planned, as he's unable to resist making a series of impromptu visits to important figures from his past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA modern-day picaresque from Jonathan Coe--acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eThe Rotters' Club\u003c\/i\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim\u003c\/i\u003e explores the difficulties of making genuine connections in a world of advanced communications technology and rampant social networking.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan Coe's \u003c\/b\u003eawards include the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger, the Prix Médicis Étranger, and, for \u003ci\u003eThe Rotters' Club, \u003c\/i\u003ethe Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize.
