A KIRKUS BEST BOOK OF 2018 In 2012, Sarah Ruhl was a distinguished
author and playwright, twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Max
Ritvo, a student in her playwriting class at Yale University, was
an exuberant, opinionated, and highly gifted poet. He was also in
remission from pediatric cancer. Over the next four years-in which
Ritvo's illness returned and his health declined, even as his
productivity bloomed-the two exchanged letters that spark with
urgency, humor, and the desire for connection. Reincarnation,
books, the afterlife as an Amtrak quiet car, good soup: in Ruhl and
Ritvo's exchanges, all ideas are fair, nourishing game, shared and
debated in a spirit of generosity and love. "We'll always know one
another forever, however long ever is," Ritvo writes. "And that's
all I want-is to know you forever." Studded with poems and songs,
Letters from Max is a deeply moving portrait of a friendship, and a
shimmering exploration of love, art, mortality, and the afterlife.
