Hindustan Times caught up with author of ‘Less’ Andrew Sean Greer at the Jaipur Literature Festival 2019. He spoke about his book and said, “It took me five years but I will admit that I actually tried to write another book and threw it away and spend a year pouting and then another year deeply depressed and then I wrote this in about a year and a half, very quickly. After throwing away all the other ideas it happened very quickly because I got to steal from the previous book I’ve been writing which was sort of too wistful, too sad book about a character not anything like this one and then it changed into this.”
