Summary
In the follow-up to the "bedazzling, bewitching, and be-wonderful" (New York Times) best-selling and Pulitzer Prize-winning Less: A Novel, the awkward and lovable Arthur Less returns in an unforgettable road trip across America. "Go get lost somewhere, it always does you good." For Arthur Less, life is going surprisingly well: he is a moderately accomplished novelist in a steady relationship with his partner, Freddy Pelu.

He grows a handlebar mustache, ditches his signature gray suit, and disguises himself in the bolero-and-cowboy-hat
