Greetings good readers. Thanks for being here.
All this week on Philip the Bard’s Harappan Blog it Kusha Week. The second novel in my Max Gavaskar series is due out as an e book next week. So I’m taking this time on the blog to offer some background on the book.
Today we’re finishing up on who is Max Gavaskar. Yesterday I discussed some of the cultural issues that went into her creation. What does she look like? Ten years or so ago National Geographic magazine did an article on beauty. In the article the posted a picture that was a composite of the features that people universally find most attractive. That picture is Max’s face. At the time, I must admit that I found the picture very captivating. I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
I see Max in the same way. She has an incredible face and a brilliant mind. But for Max the face does not matter. She has no clue what her beauty can do. She dresses down, wears little or no make up and ignores most of the attention her beauty draws to her.
She is short and slight. As a young woman she wore her hair long but while on the run from the SID she cut her hair to make it more difficult for the SID to trace her.
Tomorrow I’ll introduce you to some of the people we’ll meet in “Kusha”.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
