Less - Andrew Sean Greer

Fiction

Rating: 7.5/10

A failed novelist about to turn fifty with a series of other quandaries to deal with creates a half-baked itinerary designed to take him around the world and away from his problems. What comes of this plan is a wonderful journey into one mans mid life crisis.

At times funny, at times sad, and at all times told with a stealthy genius. Ultimately a depiction of how age can render us inconsequential, not only in own our minds but in the eyes of others.

Footnote: Who says you can’t run away from your problems? Can’t think of any better reason to run than exactly that! Certainly not for fitness.
