What happens when a struggling novelist receives a wedding invitation from his ex-boyfriend—and decides the only way out is around the world? Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, this National Bestseller and New York Times Notable Book is a hilarious, heartbreaking journey through mishaps, misunderstandings, and the beautiful mess of being human.
Arthur Less is about to turn fifty. He’s a writer whose career has stalled, whose love life has imploded, and whose dignity is hanging by a thread. Rather than face his ex’s wedding, he cobbles together a globe-trotting escape plan: accept every random literary invitation that’s landed on his desk. What could possibly go wrong?
Everything, as it turns out. Arthur nearly falls in love in Paris, nearly falls to his death in Berlin, gets trapped in a Moroccan ski chalet during a sandstorm, and winds up as the sole writer-in-residence at a Christian Retreat Center in India. Through each delicious disaster, Andrew Sean Greer crafts a novel that’s equal parts comic romp and tender meditation on time, love, and second chances.
This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel has been praised by The Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, and readers everywhere for its “arresting lyricism and beauty.” It’s the rare book that makes you laugh out loud while quietly breaking your heart—a scintillating satire wrapped around a deeply moving love story. Perfect for anyone who’s ever wanted to run away from their problems, or who simply believes that the best journeys are the ones that bring us home to ourselves.
Andrew Sean Greer's Less is excellent company. It's no less than bedazzling, bewitching and be-wonderful.
A gorgeous novel...a love letter to a life in books.
A fast, sexy, and very funny novel...the book's real achievement is something rarer still: the creation of a genuinely lovable character.
This charming, winning novel...is a tale of second chances and belated coming-of-age, but it's also, more deeply, about the battle between romance and time.
Wildly, painfully funny and heartbreakingly forlorn...Less is a winner.
A comic masterpiece...Less is the funniest book I've read this year.
Hilarious and unexpectedly moving.
A scintillating satire of the American abroad, a rumination on time and the human heart, a bittersweet romance of chances lost, by turns touching and laugh-out-loud funny.
A novel of light and charm...Greer is a master of screwball comedy.
Hilarious, poignant and ultimately life-affirming...a triumph.
