The clumsy and beloved hero of Andrew Sean Greer's award-winning and best-selling novel, Less, returns in this unforgettable road trip across America. For Arthur Less, life is going rather well: he is a moderately successful novelist in a steady relationship with his partner, Freddy Pelu. However, nothing lasts: the death of an old lover and a sudden financial crisis have led Less to run away from his problems, as he accepts a series of literary invitations that send him on an adventure in the U.S.
Less traverses the "Mild Mild West," the South, and his home in the mid-Atlantic, with a constantly changing company of literary characters and his faithful companion—a black pug, Dolly, and a rusty van they have named Rosina. He grows a handlebar mustache, abandons his signature gray suit, and disguises himself as a true "Unitedstatesian"... with varying degrees of success, as he continues to be mistakenly identified as either Dutch, the wrong author, or, worst of all, a "bad gay."
We can't, however, escape from ourselves—even when crossing deserts, swamps, and shorelines. From his estranged father and his strained relationship with Freddy, to the angst he experiences facing his privilege, Arthur Less ultimately must confront his personal demons. With all the boundless wit and musicality that made Less a best seller and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Less Is Lost is a deep and joyful novel about the mystery of life, the puzzle of love, and the stories we tell during this journey.
