In this episode, Here & Now's Robin Young talks with author Andrew Sean Greer about his new novel
Less is Lost, the sequel to his Pulitzer Prize-winning
Less. This time, Greer's protagonist Arthur Less takes a tour of America in a van, and in the process learns about what it means to be an author today. Less is disappointed by how things are going, but doesn't realize how good things actually are for him. Greer says that he almost didn't write a second book, but by satirizing the literary crowd, he saw the importance of critiquing himself.
