The awkward and lovable hero of Andrew Sean Greer's bestselling and
prize-winning novel Less returns in this unforgettable road trip
across America. 'Wildly, painfully funny' David Sedaris
'Unforgettable' Elizabeth Day 'The joyfulness of this book is a
balm' Madeline Miller 'What a joy' Katie Kitamura For Arthur Less,
life is going surprisingly well: he is a moderately accomplished
novelist in a steady relationship with his partner, Freddy Pelu.
But nothing lasts: the death of an old lover and a sudden financial
crisis has Less running away from his problems yet again as he
accepts a series of literary gigs that send him on a zigzagging
adventure across the US. Less roves across the 'Mild Mild West',
through the South and to his mid-Atlantic birthplace, with an
ever-changing posse of writerly characters and his trusty duo - a
human-like black pug, Dolly, and a rusty camper van nicknamed
Rosina. He grows a handlebar mustache, ditches his signature gray
suit, and disguises himself in the bolero-and-cowboy-hat costume of
a true 'Unitedstatesian'... with varying levels of success, as he
continues to be mistaken for either a Dutchman, the wrong writer,
or, worst of all, a 'bad gay'. We cannot, however, escape ourselves
- even across deserts, bayous, and coastlines. From his estranged
father and strained relationship with Freddy, to the reckoning he
experiences in confronting his privilege, Arthur Less must
eventually face his personal demons. With all of the irrepressible
wit and musicality that made Less a bestselling, Pulitzer
Prize-winning, must-read breakout book, Less Is Lost is a profound
and joyous novel about the enigma of life, the riddle of love, and
the stories we tell along the way.
