SUMMARY:Villa Coco: Andrew Sean Greer
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Sean Greer\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less\, showcases his wit\, sophistication\, and deep knowledge of focaccia in this tale of a young man who takes an unspecified job with a charismatic elderly Baronessa at her crumbling villa in the Tuscan hills. Interviewed by Lucy Feldman (TIME). \nLimited guaranteed seat tickets with book included available; most of the theatre will be first-come first-served with a PBF GA pass.\nAbout Villa Coco:\nAn aspiring archivist determined to begin a “serious” life after an undistinguished undergraduate career takes up residence in the Italian countryside. Here\, he becomes the all-purpose assistant to the Baronessa\, known to her friends as Coco\, a defiantly youthful and naturally flamboyant woman of ninety-two. Amid a chaotic and colorful milieu of gin-swilling princesses\, incomprehensible handymen\, roaming boarhunters\, nuns\, and other local wildlife\, our young man does his best to catalog the villa’s extensive collection of art and antiques—although he notices that things seem to go missing from right under his nose. \nDespite himself\, he tumbles into an affair with a married man\, complicating his future plans considerably. And when the Baronessa loses someone close to her\, he becomes an unwitting accomplice in the acceleration of Coco’s great and final plan: to locate the love of her life and be reunited before it’s too late. Told with the signature wit\, charm\, and humanity that made Less an international phenomenon\, Villa Coco is a dazzling\, sun-soaked ode to life itself\, a meditation on how seriously we ought to take ourselves\, and a bawdy Mediterranean ballad about becoming who we’ve always wanted to be.
