MixedLos Angeles Review of BooksWhere Less was a delightful confection of missed connections and bungled translations, its successor is a slower, bumpier ride ... While some of the setups for Arthur’s trip east are clunky... the plot plays out satisfyingly enough. Continuity with the previous novel proves more cumbersome at the level of narration ... Less Is Lost strays into sometimes banal territory: residual homophobia, relationship ambivalence ... Less Is Lost has more than occasional swerves into tweeness and what can only be called a kind of self-pastiche ... But Greer’s throwaway brilliance, never far away, emerges.
