Less really is more

Less by Andrew Sean Greer

December 30, 2020 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

What a fun ride! After my last award winning read turned  out to be a letdown (The Space Between), I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Greer’s novel.  Less focuses on Arthur Less, a mediocre writer having professional and personal difficulties- his publisher and his long-time boyfriend have both dumped him.  As the boyfriend’s wedding to someone else approaches, Arthur panics- he doesn’t want to attend the wedding but he doesn’t want to refuse the invite as it would be admitting that he […]

“Just for the record: happiness is not bullshit.”

Less by Andrew Sean Greer

December 27, 2020 by Sophia 1 Comment

I was searching through my local library catalog trying to find a good audiobook for commuter listening when I saw Less (2017) by Andrew Sean Greer. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and backed up with an intriguing blurb, it captured my attention. I quickly downloaded the book and began, but I almost immediately turned it off again. This book was too clever and well-written for simple listening. Although this isn’t my favorite book of the year, I’m glad I found it, and I thought it […]

Belated Bingo – Travel. Less is indeed more.

Less by Andrew Sean Greer

December 1, 2019 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

Back in the day, I had a dream that I would excel at CBR Bingo. I did get one bingo, but alas, that was all I could muster in the timeframe. Even though I didn’t blow the doors off the competition, I thoroughly enjoyed planning and plotting my bingo card and thus I’ve decided to read a few more on the ol’ bingo card, even though it only “counts” to me, as it were. I believe I was going to use Less for Rainbow Flag […]

Less is more…. I’m so sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.

Less by Andrew Sean Greer

September 20, 2019 by thewheelbarrow 1 Comment

I saw that Less won the Pulitzer Prize and was available at my library so I checked it out.  The award is the ONLY thing I knew about the book when I began reading it. Less is about Andrew Less, a writer about to turn fifty and going through some sort of mid-life crisis.  His younger, on again/off again boyfriend is getting married and his book is rejected by his publisher.  He uses the opportunity to accept offers that he has to travel the world […]

“This is a war story. It was not meant to be. It started as a love story, the story of a marriage.”

The Story of a Marriage by Andrew Sean Greer

September 15, 2019 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

CBR11bingo: Rainbow Flag Bingo! Diagonally: Remix, The Collection, Own Voices, Rainbow Flag, Summer Read I decided to read something by Andrew Sean Greer for the Rainbow Flag square on the strength of his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Less, which I read and loved last year. The Story of a Marriage is a very different novel, at least in tone. Where Less is sly and sharp and very funny, The Story of a Marriage is just a bit too earnest for its own good. The Story of […]

I Could Make a Pun Here, But Just Read the Book

Less by Andrew Sean Greer

August 21, 2019 by ASKReviews 1 Comment

BINGO: Rainbow Flag Best for: People who enjoy quality fiction, ridiculously good writing, and are looking for something a little different in their protagonist. In a nutshell: Writer Arthur Less’s ex-boyfriend is getting married. Arthur Less is about to turn 50. Instead of wallowing, Arthur Less decides to accept all the literary invites he’s received and spend the summer traveling the world. Worth quoting: “You and me, we’ve met geniuses. And we know we’re not like them, don’t we? What is it like to go […]
