SUMMARY:Andrew Sean Greer: Villa Coco
DESCRIPTION:Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Andrew Sean Greer visits Rizzoli Bookstore to celebrate the release of his latest novel\, Villa Coco. Known for his wit\, emotional insight\, and beautifully observed characters\, Greer returns with a story that explores love\, reinvention\, and the unexpected ways people rediscover themselves while navigating life’s second acts. \nSet against the backdrop of an idyllic Mediterranean retreat\, Villa Coco follows characters whose carefully constructed lives begin to unravel as old relationships resurface and long-buried secrets emerge. Blending humor\, romance\, and poignant reflection\, the novel examines themes of friendship\, aging\, ambition\, and the search for belonging with the warmth and intelligence that have become Greer’s signature. \nGreer has become one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary LGBTQ+ literature. His Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Less and its sequel Less Is Lost earned widespread acclaim for centering a gay protagonist in stories that move beyond coming-out narratives to explore universal experiences of love\, travel\, self-doubt\, and personal growth. With Villa Coco\, Greer continues his tradition of creating richly human characters whose lives resonate with readers of all backgrounds. \nThe evening will feature a conversation with the author about the inspiration behind the novel\, his writing process\, and the evolving landscape of queer literature\, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Held at the elegant Rizzoli Bookstore in the Flatiron District\, the event offers readers an opportunity to meet one of today’s most accomplished literary voices in an intimate setting.
