"I could not love LESS more." - Ron Charles, Washington Post 

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 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 you’ve received from around the world. 

QUESTION: How do you arrange to skip town? ANSWER: You accept them all.  If you are Arthur Less.  Thus begins an around-the-world-in-eighty-days fantasia that will take Arthur Less to Mexico, Italy, Germany, Morocco, India and Japan and put thousands of miles between him and the problems he refuses to face. What could possibly go wrong?  A love story, a satire of the American abroad, a rumination on time and the human heart, 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. A generous book, musical in its prose and expansive in its structure and range, about growing older and the essential nature of love.

"Andrew Sean Greer's Less is excellent company. It's no less than bedazzling, bewitching and be-wonderful."      - Christopher Buckley, New York Times Book Review
