Para aqueles que estavam curiosos a respeito da biografia do Max Ghunter, o pai dele realmente era banqueiro, mas ele mesmo nunca foi banqueiro e sim jornalista. Ele é inglês e se mudou para os EUA porque seu pai, diretor de um banco suíço, foi transferido.
"Max Gunther was born in England and emigrated to the US when he was 11. He attended schools in New Jersey and received his B.A. from Princeton University in 1949. He served in the U.S. Army in 1950-51 and was a staff member of Business Week from 1951 to 1955. He then served as a contributing editor of Time for two years. His articles were published in several magazines and he wrote several books."
Aparentemente ele morava em Ridgefield, CT,
pois em uma página dedicada a moradores famoso desta cidade temos uma biografia completa dele:
Max Gunther: Prolific Writer
“The English language has an enormous amount of power if it’s used right,” Max Gunther told The Press in 1976. “In English, you can roll up your sleeves and really say what you want with impact.” And for nearly 50 years, doing it right was Max Gunther’s work. He wrote 26 books – two of them best-sellers – and countless magazine articles. A native of England, he came to the United States as a boy, served in the Army, and graduated from Princeton in 1949. He wrote for Time, Business Week, Saturday Evening Post, Playboy, McCall’s, Reader’s Digest, Redbook, TV Guide, and many other magazines. His first book,
Split Level Trap (1960), described suburban life and became a best-seller, as did
The Weekenders (1964), a popular study of how Americans spent their weekends. Most of his two dozen other books were non-fiction, many dealing with mystical subjects. He lived on Peaceable Ridge and later Beechwood Lane from 1960 until 1987 when he moved to Heritage Village. He died in 1998 at the age of 72.
