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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe cannot, however, escape ourselves--even across deserts, bayous, and coastlines.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Good E-Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51484976414994,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/1009\/1026\/files\/Less.jpg?v=1752745317"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.goode-books.com\/collections\/andrew-sean-greer-pdf-e-books.oembed","provider":"Good E-Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
