Who says you can't run away from your problems?
You are a failed novelist about to turn fifty. A wedding invitation arrives in the mail: your boyfriend of the past nine years is engaged to someone else. You can't say yes--it would be too awkward--and you can't say no--it would look like defeat. On your desk are a series of invitations to half-baked literary events around the world.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2051.html

What would possibly go wrong? Arthur Less will almost fall in love in Paris, almost fall to his death in Berlin, barely escape to a Moroccan ski chalet from a Saharan sandstorm, accidentally book himself as the (only) writer-in-residence at a Christian Retreat Center in Southern India, and encounter, on a desert island in the Arabian Sea, the last person on Earth he wants to face. Somewhere in there: he will turn fifty. Through it all, there is his first love. And there is his last.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2051.html
Because, despite all these mishaps, missteps, misunderstandings and mistakes, LESS is, above all, a love story.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2051.html
A scintillating satire of the American abroad, a rumination on time and the human heart, a bittersweet romance of chances lost, by an author The New York Times has hailed as "inspired, lyrical," "elegiac," "ingenious," as well as "too sappy by half," LESS shows a writer at the peak of his talents raising the curtain on our shared human comedy.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2051.html
