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

"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
