This month, the group will discuss the Pulitzer prize-winning novel, Less, by Andrew Sean Greer. "Arthur Less is a failed novelist about to turn fifty. A wedding invitation arrives in the post: it is from an ex-boyfriend of nine years who is engaged to someone else. Arthur can't say yes - it would be too awkward; he can't say no - it would look like defeat. So, he begins to accept the invitations on his desk to half-baked literary events around the world. From France to India, Germany to Japan, Arthur almost falls in love, almost falls to his death, and puts miles between him and the plight he refuses to face. Lessshows a writer at the peak of his talents raising the curtain on our shared human comedy. The novel is a love story, a satire of the American abroad, a rumination on time and the human heart”-- “Theresa Smith Writes.”
Looking ahead:
