Five years ago, I was in a crowded local train, struggling to find space to stand. What I did find was laughter, thanks to the book in my hand. I knew I had to re-read Andrew Sean Greer’s work someday, and five years later, I’m doing just that. He paints a sentimental yet hilarious portrait of a bumbling but sympathetic protagonist. I found myself relating to him even though I had nothing in common with him or his misadventures. This is an incredibly funny book with great writing and the power to make you laugh so hard that you forget where you are, even if it’s inside a miserable commute.
