In this hilarious Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, a struggling novelist travels the world to avoid an awkward wedding.
\"Arresting lyricism and beauty\" --The New York Times Book Review
Who says you can\'t run away from your problems? You are a failed novelist about to turn fifty. A wedding invitation arrives in the mail: your boyfriend of the past nine years is engaged to someone else. You can\'t say yes--it would be too awkward--and you can\'t say no--it would look like defeat. On your desk are a series of invitations to half-baked literary events around the world.
QUESTION: How do you arrange to skip town?
ANSWER: You accept them all.
What would possibly go wrong? Arthur Less will almost fall in love in Paris, almost fall to his death in Berlin, barely escape to a Moroccan ski chalet from a Saharan sandstorm, accidentally book himself as the (only) writer-in-residence at a Christian Retreat Center in Southern India, and encounter, on a desert island in the Arabian Sea, the last person on Earth he wants to face. Somewhere in there: he will turn fifty. Through it all, there is his first love. And there is his last.
Because, despite all these mishaps, missteps, misunderstandings and mistakes, Less is, above all, a love story.
A scintillating satire of the American abroad, a rumination on time and the human heart, a bittersweet romance of chances lost, by an author The New York Times has hailed as \"inspired, lyrical,\" \"elegiac,\" \"ingenious,\" as well as \"too sappy by half,\" Less shows a writer at the peak of his talents raising the curtain on our shared human comedy.
\"I could not love LESS more.\" --Ron Charles, The Washington Post
\"Andrew Sean Greer\'s Less is excellent company. It\'s no less than bedazzling, bewitching and be-wonderful.\" --Christopher Buckley, The New York Times Book Review
