Before Andrew Sean Greer won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for his novel “Less,” he was the executive director for a writer’s foundation based in Italy and sponsored by a baronessa. It was a job he has compared to “running a bed-and-breakfast for maniacs.” That experience informs his latest comic novel “Villa Coco,” which centers a young man adrift and yes, a baronessa. We talk to Greer, who lives half the year in San Francisco and the other half in Italy.
His upcoming Bay Area appearances include:
Friday, 6/12 at 7:00 PM – The Booksmith at The Peacock Lounge
Saturday, 6/13 at 1:00 PM – Book Passage Corte Madera
Saturday, 6/13 at 5:30 PM – Rakestraw Books with Ayelet Waldman
