LESS IS LOST by Andrew Sean Greer and DELE WEDS DESTINY by Tomi Obaro are named two of the 39 Best Books of 2022 by Vanity Fair. Congratulations Andy and Tomi! “Dele Weds Destiny” by Tomi Obaro (2022, Knopf) Tomi Obaro’s immersive storytelling delves into the intricacies of female friendship and familial bonds and explores the emotions and complexities of passion, romance, and commitment or lack thereof with such care that you almost feel like you embody each woman as the point of view shifts throughout her novel while we trace their crossed paths through who they were, who they are, and who they are becoming. Obaro’s writing not only tells a story, it invites you into a world so masterly crafted that you, too, feel like you have arrived in Lagos for the weekend as these characters’ past, present, and future comes to life. “Less Is Lost” by Andrew Sean Greer (Little, Brown and Company) More things are more important now more than ever. Truth, we’re told. Accountability. Acceptance of historical and ongoing wrongs. Hard yes on all that. But also, humor. Humor is what I need now more than ever... in Lost we find Less once again on the move, this time through our own vast country. It is sharp and smart and sad and sweet, and once again made me giggle aloud. More of Less, please. And well-earned happy endings. Would take more of those too. @asgreer @tomezzzzz @vanityfair #lessislost #andrewseangreer #delewedsdestiny #tomiobaro
