At Champion Public Library’s Let’s Talk About It series “Travel: New Ways of Seeing”, we will discuss “Less” by Andrew Sean Greer on Thursday, March 6th at 5:30 PM. Dr. Robert Greenstreet will serve as the evening’s scholar.
What would possibly go wrong? Arthur Less will almost fall in love in Paris, almost fall to his death in Berlin, barely escape to a Moroccan ski chalet from a Saharan sandstorm, accidentally book himself as the (only) writer-in-residence at a Christian Retreat Center in Southern India, and encounter, on a desert island in the Arabian Sea, the last person on Earth he wants to face. Somewhere in there: he will turn fifty. Through it all, there is his first love. And there is his last. Because, despite all these mishaps, missteps, misunderstandings and mistakes, “Less” is, above all, a love story.
This book discussion will be led by Dr. Robert Greenstreet, a retired professor of Communication Studies at East Central University and frequent presenter of Let’s Talk About It programs. Having taught at numerous colleges and universities across the nation, Greenstreet has obtained degrees from the University of the Pacific, Western Washington University, and Oklahoma State University.
