Last week I read Andrew Sean Greer’s latest book Less and loved it. His tenderness and humor for his protagonist was so endearing and had a sort of light and masterful way of reading that made me think of Updike or Irving. Published 5 years ago, The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells seems like a less adept effort. Greer still clearly loves language and has a tender way into a character’s interior and a light touch with description that I love. But the time traveling in this book was hard to follow for me and I found myself wondering how he would write this story now.
