Less

Less

Andrew Sean Greer

This hilarious, poignant and satirical novel won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize, honoring Greer's incredible writing skills and the rawness of the story.

You are a mediocre writer on the threshold of your fiftieth birthday. You receive a wedding invitation in the mail: your ex-partner of nine years has gotten engaged. You cannot accept this invitation (it would be too embarrassing) or refuse it (you cannot admit defeat). Your desk is littered with a series of unattractive invitations to literary events around the world.

QUESTION: How to sneak out of town?

ANSWER: Agree to everything!

Thus begins a feverish adventure that will take Arthur Less to Mexico, Italy, Germany, Morocco, India and Japan, and rescue him from all the adversities he does not want to face. What could go wrong?

Well, Arthur will almost fall in love in Paris, almost die in Berlin, barely escape a Saharan storm, accidentally become the only writer in a Christian colony in South India, and be early for the Japanese cherry blossoms. They will clash with science fiction fans, crazy academics, starlets, doctors, former loves...

In addition, he will turn fifty years old. His second life phase will be behind him. He will have to leave his first love and prepare for his last.
