Discussing Less

Our May selection was Andrew Sean Greer's Less, winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. We met at Judy's home, our usual summer location, with many bringing delicious goodies to eat. 

Andrew's father, Bill, was our special guest. We had a very enthusiastic discussion, interspersed throughout with questions directed at Bill about his son. The opinion of the book was favorable with high praise in particular for Andrew's impressive use of language. Many clever descriptions were noted as well as clever allusions to works of literature and of art. His attention to detail was considered masterful.
