Seven novels about the struggle of being a writer

Gnesis Villar, an intern at Electric Literature, tagged seven books about the struggle of being a writer, including:
Less by Andrew Sean Greer

Arthur Less is about to turn fifty and is failing—at writing, at dating, at life in general. After receiving a wedding invitation from his not-boyfriend of nine years Arthur is at a crossroads. He can’t say yes because of the awkwardness but he also can’t say no because it would look like defeat. So he comes up with a half-baked idea to travel the world, going to every literary event he’s been invited to. From a romance cut short in Paris to a near-deadly fall in Berlin, Arthur along the way finds his first love and his last.
Read about another entry on the list.

Less is among Sarah Skilton's six novel novels about novelists.
