很有意思的故事,小人物的失意和挣扎,作者文笔不错,非常逗乐,结尾绝对是惊喜,happy ending
评分2018普利策奖?
评分A gay Odyssey. An attribute to Proust. A love story crafted with polyphony narrative. Beautiful language and lovely to read but is it too readable to be a prize winner?
评分Happy ending有点没意思,并且读到一半就被剧透了。文字很好笑,哭笑不得的那种????,又透着迷之忧郁。讲到三十年前老情人快要离世了那段有点触动的,但总体来说还是感觉一部young adult romance而已,可能五十岁男主人公的innocence刻画太深刻???

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.
QUESTION: How do you arrange to skip town?
ANSWER: You accept them all.
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.
Because, despite all these mishaps, missteps, misunderstandings and mistakes, Less is, above all, a love story.
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.
赶在六一读完了Less。最后莱斯去的城市是京都,体验了日本的怀石料理,中途得知了旧爱Robert中风住院。Robert算是见证Less从青年到中年的全过程。在他眼中,莱斯还是当年海滩上见过的二十一岁少年,那个错将多伦多当做加拿大首都的少年。人人都说年轻时遇到的爱恋最让人难忘,...
