Magic
Really fine fiction is like music in that its delivery is a delight, and its crescendo is both expected and startling. Really fine fiction is magical in its ability to recount a history and yet transcend the very notion of permanence and event. Andrew Sean Greer's stories are startling and beautiful, musical and magical. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Necessary read:
This is a gorgeous, gorgeous book. I picked it up soon after it came out because the cover caught my eye; was instantly curious after the description of a fiction book focused on astronomy and the summary on the back. I expected to like it, and after my first reading that was exactly my reaction, but a couple years later and after many, many more readthroughs this is without a doubt one of the ...

good balance
The STORY OF A MARRIAGE was a well balanced, well-written book. The plot was realistic, the characters were "flushed out" and the San Francisco - 1950's setting was memorable . Having current events of the day and references to pop culture , a lollypop on a curved soft handle, were superb details . Yes, plot, characters and settings merged beautifully to the well balanced book.

The Confessin of Max Tivoli
Andrew Sean Greer, 2004

With a premise straight out of science fiction (or F. Scott Fitzgerald), Greer's second novel plumbs the agonies of misdirected love and the pleasures of nostalgia with gratifying richness. Max Tivoli has aged backwards: born in San Francisco in 1871 looking like a 70-year-old man, he's now nearly 60 and looks 11. Other than this "deformity," the defining feature of Max's life is his epic love for Alice Levy, whom he meets when they are both ...

Beautiful, compelling, and disturbing all at the same time
First, let me say that to all the people who disliked this novel, I can see where you're coming from. The subject matter is controversial, disturbing, and sometimes downright wrong, but ultimately, that is not what this book is about. This book is not about Max, nor is it about his love for Alice, nor is it about his difficulties with being accepted into society. At it's simplest level, this book ...
