Product Information
In the follow-up to the "bedazzling, bewitching, and be-wonderful" ( New York Times ) best-selling and Pulitzer Prize-winning Less: A Novel , the awkward and lovable Arthur Less returns in an unforgettable road trip across America. "Go get lost somewhere, it always does you good." 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 in America, the riddle of love, and the stories we tell along the way.

Reviews
"The clever story that unfolds is a hilarious and touching take on modern life in America, making Less Is Lost a cathartic book for anyone who's ever questioned their path-- in other words, all of us."-- Real Simple, "Greer is an exceptionally lovely writer, capable of mingling humor with sharp poignancy.... Brilliantly funny.... Greer's narration, so elegantly laced with wit, cradles the story of a man who loses everything: his lover, his suitcase, his beard, his dignity."-- Ron Charles , Washington Post, " Less is the funniest, smartest and most humane novel I've read since Tom Rachman's 2010 debut, The Imperfectionists . . . . Greer writes sentences of arresting lyricism and beauty. His metaphors come at you like fireflies. . . . 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, "Arthur Less' losses are legion: his former lover, his current partner, his house, his self-confidence. So - in this follow-up to the Pulitzer Prize-winning Less - he takes to the road in a rented van (with a borrowed pug) to make some money and figure out if he still loves who (and what) he thinks he loves. He's accused of being a 'bad gay' and wonders if he really might be guilty as charged. Less is a hapless Walloon: a possibly European man of letters and privilege who stumbles his way out of impending tragedies, through mounting humiliations, and into surprising successes. Yet his inability to recognize his luck as luck is why we love Less more and more."-- Jason DeRose, NPR (" Best Books of the Year"), "Greer's novel is philosophical, poignant, funny and wise, filled with unexpected turns....Although Greer is gifted and subtle in comic moments, he's just as adept at ruminating on the deeper stuff. His protagonist grapples with aging, loneliness, creativity, grief, self-pity and more."-- San Francisco Chronicle, "Only Arthur Less could be both frustratingly stuck, yet on the move. Let loose, yet totally lost. Full of wit, but without a clue. And while he runs from himself, finds himself at the same time. Put all of that on a wild road trip through a wilder America, and you end up with something hilarious, affecting, and unforgettable."-- Marlon James, winner of the 2015 Booker Prize, "Marvelously, unexpectedly, endearingly funny. A love story focused on the erroneous belief that the second half of life will pale in comparison to the first. Guess what? It won't!"-- Gary Shteyngart, author of Lake Success, "Andrew Sean Greer follows up his Pulitzer Prize-winning Less with this story about the same character, Arthur Less, whose now-comfortable life falls into disarray--and whose next steps lead him on an eventful roadtrip (accompanied, much to our delight, by a black pug) that proves you can't outrun your problems, but you can make them fascinating on the page."-- St. Louis Dispatch, "2018 Pulitzer Prize winner Less is one of the most charming books I've ever read. I find myself returning to it again and again when I want a feel-good read, and it's like an instant pick-me-up. Less Is Lost , the sequel, manages to have just as much heart as its predecessor, which feels more necessary now than ever. . . . If you're looking for a cozy read this fall that will have you laughing and experiencing renewed gratitude for life, you can't go wrong spending more time with this lovable character." -- David Vogel, Buzzfeed, "Best Books of the Fall", "Andrew Sean Greer's Less follow-up is funny, sad and even more unforgettable...a touching, hilarious narrative...Poignant, smart and funny, the mix of elements Greer brings to the table here makes this an outstanding book that's part road trip, part love story and part keen observation of contemporary America...Greer is a very talented storyteller, and there are shining lines in Less is Lost that dip their toes in poetry... Less Is Lost is perfectly balanced; sad and joyful, honest and hilarious, wonderfully strange and very real. Greer is a great chronicler of our times, and his vision of America celebrates the best of it while also showing its dark side, and that makes this novel required reading."-- Gabino Iglesias, San Francisco Chronicle, ""Tenderhearted sequel...all narrated with a wit and wistfulness that call to mind the work of David Sedaris and John Updike. The key pleasure of this adventure tale is bouncing along to burnished prose that never takes itself too seriously."-- Vogue, "Best Books of Fall", "Technically accomplished, wildly entertaining...Like its predecessor, [ Less Is Lost ] is a feat of wit and brio, tougher than it looks...Greer's a master of the picaresque...Greer's wordplay is glorious."-- Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "Exquisite attention to rhythm, repetition, and timing, the bright sentences tossed up like juggling balls to be caught in dazzling rotation...We can't presume to know how the American story, that insane and unprecedented jumble of genres, will end, but Less and Freddy's story is another matter. No one's private world is shielded from national storms, but often enough the sun does shine there. We need some novels to remind us of that, and this is one."-- Alexandra Schwartz, New Yorker, " Less Is Lost is a generous, funny, deeply insightful novel and I recommend it to readers without hesitation."-- Boston Globe, "Just as his romantic life and career as a novelist start to make sense, a series of unfortunate events compels Arthur Less to accept writing assignments that send him, once again, away from home. As Less traverses the United States, he must face his past to find peace for himself in this hilarious but heartfelt follow-up to Greer's Pulitzer Prize-winning Less ."-- Alta, "There is no better guide across America than Arthur Less, the 'bad gay' whose engaging awkwardness and self-deprecation are tragically funny and hugely insightful. We should all be so lost."-- Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry
