Less by Andrew S. Greer

Less by Andrew Sean Greer (2017). You are a failed novelist about to turn fifty. A wedding invitation arrives in the mail: your boyfriend of the past nine years now engaged to someone else. You can’t say yes--it would all be too awkward--and you can’t say no--it would look like defeat. On your desk are a series of half-baked literary invitations from around the world. How to skip town? You accept them all. Short-listed for Pulitzer Prize. "A comic yet moving picture of an American abroad." Booklist, starred review. "Wise and witty novel"- Nat'l Book Review. (272 pgs)
