This Week in Reading Less by Andrew Sean Greer Less tells the story of Arthur Less, a middling gay writer on the cusp of fifty, who, in an attempt to avoid the embarrassment of attending the wedding of his younger non-boyfriend of nine years, accepts a series of invitations to half-assed literary events around the world. This ramshackle itinerary takes him to Italy to accept an award judged by high school students, to Germany to teach a university course, to India for a writing retreat, to Morocco to attend an exotic birthday party for a friend of a friend he has never met. Books about being an American abroad are usually irritating, but this one was sweet and tender and delightful.
