Less by Andrew Sean Greer
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: Accept them all!
What could possibly go wrong? We follow Arthur Less through mishaps, missteps, misunderstandings and mistakes.
Through it all, there is his first love—and there is his last. Because, despite all, Less is, ultimately, a love story.
