  Zoom Review United in Voice: Zooming with   Alex Miller &  Galit Klas to Honour  MAX  REVIEW PART ONE by Philippa Davies   On the 18 th of September 2021,  Mentone Public Library’s ‘Zoom Room’  was treated to an engaging talk  by twice winner of the  Miles Franklin Literary Award,  Alex Miller ,  where he recounted the process  behind writing his novel,  ‘ MAX ’.   In her introduction,  Julia recalled how she met  Alex and wife Stephanie Miller when they came to the  Jewish Holocaust Centre’s library in 2015  looking for information about the subject of Alex's next book: Max Blatt .   Unable to help Alex directly with findings, but bestowing to him  a compilation of research leads, a mutual friend would set Alex on his way.   Retired Jewish Holocaust Centre  volunteer and Holocaust survivor Kitia Altman OAM , was able to release Alex from his hesitation in her typical, no-uncertain-terms manner: “Cast your doubts aside and get on with it, Miller.”
