具体描述
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.

读后感
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，...
评分小说很迷人，作家的生活更迷人，这是我之前说过的。理所当然的，一本写作家生活的小说也很有意思。 许多要做的事情来不及做，没有兴趣做，被其他纷繁的事情打扰忘记做，这我之前说过，但现在深有体会，花花世界，迷乱人眼，倒不是说哪件事情更有意义，而是感受到了自己的有限而...

评分I really like the tone of this novel. On the one hand, It was told in a direct and detailed way that as a reader, I could depict the scense with flesh in my mind. On the other hand, despite the closeness, all the emotions in the story are still slightly det...

太会比喻了，能把我无法描述的感官表达得淋漓尽致，每每都想大喊“就是这个感受！”也经常被冷幽默笑出声，非常享受。沙漠里的夜谈让我想念西藏的银河，想念那时候你带来的惊喜。Less被锁在日本年代感的酒店花园回想起母亲和童年突然哭出来那段，离奇的异域宗教浸入感，离奇得悲伤，”from somewhere high above, I began a plummeting descent”，就是这个感受。
评分其实是个纯爱故事...
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？？？
