Andrew Sean Greer’s 2018 Pulitzer Prize winning novel Less has amassed a legion of fans, among them Ann Patchett, David Sedaris, and Armistead Maupin. The judges declared it “A generous book, musical in its prose and expansive in its structure and range, about growing older and the essential nature of love.”The same could be said of Greer’s five other works of fiction: tales that joust playfully with time, loss, love and family, and with notions of escape and confinement. He speaks with Noelle McCarthy about his work, and the wisdom to be found in the fabric of a life.
