Andrew Sean Greer
“Arthur Less has left the room while remaining in it.”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less

Andrew Sean Greer
“Here, all this time, Less thought he was merely a bad writer. A bad lover, a bad friend, a bad son. Apparently the condition is worse; he is bad at being himself.”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less

Andrew Sean Greer
“Zohra's voice comes loudly from her camel: "Shut the fuck up! Enjoy the fucking sunset on your fucking camels! Jesus!"

It is , after all, almost a miracle they are here. Not because they've survived the booze, the hashish, the migraines. Not that at all. It's that they've survived everything in life, humiliations and disappointments and heartaches and missed opportunities, bad dads and bad jobs and bad sex and bad drugs, all the trips and mistakes and face-plants of life, to have made it to fifty and to have made it here: to this frosted-cake landscape, these mountains of gold, the little table they can now see sitting on the dune, set with olives and pita and glasses and wine chilling on ice, with the sun waiting more patiently than any camel for their arrival. So, yes. As with almost every sunset, but with this one in particular: shut the fuck up.”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less

Andrew Sean Greer
“one million furious you didn’t call for sex, but only five actually available to meet you.”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less

Andrew Sean Greer
“Prizes aren’t love. Because people who never met you can’t love you.”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less
