Das Buch erinnert mich ein wenig an "Das erstaunliche Leben des Walter Mitty" nur mit mehr Flashbacks als Tagträumerei. Weniger erlebt einige witzige Momente, man lernt nach und nach seine Vergangenheit kennen und das Ende kommt zwar fast zu schnell aber war trotzdem schön. Es ist also witzig, nostalgisch und macht auch Lust neue Leute kennenzulernen. Man weiß nie was kommt :)
Ausverkauft, aber heiß begehrt!

A struggling novelist travels the world to dodge an awkward wedding in this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel celebrated for its "arresting lyricism and beauty" (New York Times Book Review). As a failed novelist approaching fifty, he receives an invitation to his ex-boyfriend's wedding, which he can't accept or decline without feeling defeated. Instead, he seizes the opportunity to flee, accepting a series of literary event invitations around the globe. Arthur Less's journey takes him from nearly falling in love in Paris to a near-death experience in Berlin, escaping a sandstorm in Morocco, and accidentally becoming the sole writer-in-residence at a Christian retreat in India. On a desert island in the Arabian Sea, he unexpectedly confronts someone he never wanted to see again. Amidst these escapades, he grapples with love, loss, and turning fifty. This tale is a scintillating satire on the American experience abroad, exploring themes of time and the human heart, as well as a bittersweet romance filled with missed opportunities. With a blend of humor and poignancy, the author, praised as "inspired" and "lyrical," showcases a writer at the height of his craft, illuminating our shared human comedy.
