From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less, a debut collection of ten short stories featuring characters haunted by their decisions and memories.With a classic storyteller’s gift for nuance and understanding, and a poet’s grace for language, Andrew Sean Greer makes a remarkable debut with How It Was for Me. Focusing on the lives of eleven people-those who have discovered and been uncovered by the truths of life, those who have sacrificed, those who have fallen-Greer fashions a unified, stunning portrait of America, one with the ultimate force and candor of testimonial.Praise for How It Was for Me An LA Weekly Top Ten Book of the Year"Crystal-like clarity . . . outstanding . . . nuanced language . . . Greer is a writer worth watching." -Martin Wilson, The Austin Chronicle"Impressive . . . Greer’s descriptive talents are immense. . . . While these stories are thick with melancholy, their frankness is refreshing." -The New York Times Book Review"Greer reveals sensitive, unpredictable characters in direct but subtle prose, saving his most powerful stories for the end. . . . Many of these stories project that same kind of effortlessness-suggesting that more strong writing from Greer will follow." -Publishers Weekly
