We're back! And we can think of no better way to get the new series underway than this conversation with the brilliant Andrew Sean Greer. Andrew is the author of the Pulitzer Prize winning Less (a massive favourite at You're Booked Towers) and has just released a sequel, Less is Lost, which is equally hilarious, moving and thoroughly addictive. He has won numerous awards for his fiction and has contributed to The New Yorker, Esquire and The Paris Review. We talked to Andrew about the genius of Sondheim, Proustian moments, aunts in PG Wodehouse and owning Armistead Maupin's athletic equipment.
