No one writing in English is funnier or more charming than Andrew Greer. Every sentence in this novel sings. -- David Sedaris Pulitzer Prize-winning author Andrew Sean Greer (Less) joins Guild Hall to celebrate his new novel, Villa Coco, in conversation with bestselling author, editor, and cultural commentator Derek Blasberg. Hailed as the Future Undisputed Book of Summer 2026, Villa Coco is a dazzling, sun-soaked ode to life, love, friendship--and focaccia. In this magical, madcap tale, a broke and directionless young American takes on a mysterious role at the Tuscan villa of a formidable nonagenarian Baronessa known as Coco. Charged with cataloguing her vast collection, he instead navigates eccentric tasks, a parade of colorful guests, and Coco's audacious final plan: to reunite with the lost love of her life before it's too late. Following the conversation, Greer will sign copies of Villa Coco. A copy of the book is included with each ticket.
