“I already had a kind of Don Quixote set up in mind. And so I was like, Wouldn't it be funny if Arthur was the sort of Sancho Panza in this? I'll just barely touch on it and see where it goes. And I thought he needs someone totally full of himself to shake him up…” Readers fell in love with Arthur Less — and Andrew Sean Greer took home a Pulitzer Prize for Less, the novel that introduced us to Arthur. Andrew joins us on the show to talk about his new novel, the not-really-a-sequel, Less Is Lost, turning tragedy into comedy, rewrites, what scares him as a writer, his literary influences, the writing advice that he still relies on and much more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer.

Es gibt diese Herzensbücher, an denen ich hänge und von denen ich täglich Sätze oder Szenen im Kopf habe, die mich begleiten, seit ich das erste Mal mit ihnen zu tun hatte. Dieses Buch beziehungsweise dieses Hörbuch gehören zu diesen Schätzen. Und auch, wenn manche behaupten könnten, die Idee sei geklaut, ist es ein so eigenes wunderschönes Stück Literatur, dass dieser Vorwurf einfach an dem Buch abprallt.

When his novel Less won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Andrew Sean Greer tweeted, he ‘had just persuaded a dog to let me put her into polka dot pajamas (not my dog)'. He literally didn't believe the news. Readers clearly feel otherwise. Less tells the story of Arthur Less – a writer fearing his own mediocrity and middle age, who takes on a series of far-flung literary engagements in order to avoid the wedding of a significant ex. With understated eloquence, the book's narrator is generous to its subject, making for a joyful and nuanced celebration of human complexity. It spent six months on the coveted New York Times bestseller list. Benjamin Law and Andrew Sean Greer — Photo: Jon Tjhia Beyond the runaway success of his latest novel, Greer is a novelist, short story writer and writing teacher whose books frequently explore themes of love and time. His other books, including The Confessions of Max Tivoli and The Story of a Marriage, have earned him critical praise for their sensitive, lyrical prose. Last May, Greer joined Benjamin Law to talk about the ways in which writing can express our hunger for language, for the world, and for each other.Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Sean Greer reads his story from the June 19, 2017, issue of the magazine. Greer is the author of five books of fiction, including the novels, “The Confessions of Max Tivoli” and “The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells.” A new novel, “Less,” from which this story was adapted, will come out in July.

Greer (The Confessions of Max Tivoli) looks at the climate of repression in 1950s America and asks how far we are willing to go to escape that which confines us.

The hero of The Confessions of Max Tivoli  is born an old man who ages backwards -- not an unusual fantasy premise.
