Less greer review5/30/2023 ![]() That event triggers Less’s trip and I won’t say more about the plot other than the book follows Less on that trip. Greer writes sentences of arresting lyricism and beauty. But laughter is only a part of the joy of reading this book. ![]() Arthur’s wanderings as he makes his way from disaster to disaster are hilariously, brilliantly harrowing. But, this time, instead of Less as narrator, this book is written from the perspective of Less’s current partner, Freddy.Īt the start of this novel, Freddy is secluded in Maine, attempting to write his own novel, while Less remains at their home in San Francisco, learning about the death of his former lover. Less is the funniest, smartest and most humane novel I’ve read since Tom Rachman’s 2010 debut, The Imperfectionists. ![]() LESS IS LOST picks up the story several years later, taking Less on a financially-motivated cross-country trip. LESS IS LOST is continues the story of Arthur Less, a fiftyish, marginally successful writer, full of insecurities and angst but also contemplating the nature of true love. (Not unlike the author himself.) And further proof as to why Andrew Sean Greer won a Pulitzer Prize for the prequel LESS (2017) in 2018. ![]() LESS IS LOST is an intelligent, perceptive, and lighthearted glimpse into the middle age years of a San Francisco based writer. Thank you NetGalley and Little Brown and Company. NOTE: I was given early access to the arc in exchange for writing an impartial review. ![]()
