Thank you to Sloan Crosley and @departures for selecting Less Is Lost by Andrew Sean Greer and The Furrows by Namwali Serpell for their Fall Books Preview! —— LESS IS LOST, 9.20.22 (@littlebrown): The utterly delightful sequel to “Less,” “Less Is Lost” this time told from the perspective of Less’ partner (and emergency contact), Freddy Pelu. Their story begins and ends in San Francisco and “in between: a plane, a van, a bus, a train; a donkey, a whale, and a moose.” A road-trip novel with everyone’s favorite “Minor American Novelist” as its guinea pig, “Less Is Lost” tells a very contemporary story of security undone, the death of an old friend and lover, and a financial crisis that has Arthur Less accepting a variety of antic-packed literary invitations across the country. Of course, in the end, wherever you go, there you are. “Less Is Lost” is a novel that dares to ask the question, “How long can a gay man survive in a desert?” It is in the balance between hilarity and heart that this sequel proves itself as delightful as its predecessor. • THE FURROWS, 9.27.22 (@hogarthbooks): Namwali Serpell’s “The Furrows” (Hogarth) unspools a haunting story of family grief, of a sister who must grow up without the brother she lost in a tragic accident, until one day she takes an unexpected route out of her sorrow. Or tries to. —— Pre-order this September releases now! 📚🍂
