Andrew Sean Greer's Reading List

"An adventure tale of North African Jewish and Arab merchants in A.D. 999 heading into exotic France! Incredibly beautiful writing, Hilary Mantel subtlety with history."

"I picked it up while writing Less Is Lost and couldn't put it down — it's hilarious! Why did no one tell me it was hilarious?"

"It's maybe my favorite because it isn't as entrenched in postcolonial politics. It's just a bossy old woman dragging her uptight nephew into more and more dangerous situations. It's also hilarious!"

"I'd love to see a sequel to The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, because I just want to be in that world some more."
