Critics Review
I adore this book
The most deftly funny romantic comedy I’ve read in years. If you have a sentimental bone in your body (I have 206),the ending will make you sob little tears of joyA really smart, funny book that pulls you up instead of down … It’s hysterical, and the writing is fantasticGreer 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 - Washington PostA fast and rocketing read with everything I want from a story - moments of high humor, moments of genuine wisdom, sharp insights, and gorgeous images. A wonderful, wonderful book!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!Less is the funniest, smartest, and most humane novel I’ve read since The Imperfectionists … Greer writes sentences of arresting lyricism and beauty. His metaphors come at you like fireflies … Like Arthur, Andrew Sean Greer’s Less is excellent company. It’s no less than bedazzling, bewitching and be-wonderful - New York Times Book ReviewLess 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 ChronicleAbout The Author
