Hey there readers!
Today, I'm discussing 2018 Pulitzer Prize winner, Less.

Less
by Andrew Sean Greer
(3 stars)

Who says you can't run away from your problems? You are a failed novelist about to turn fifty. A wedding invitation arrives in the mail: your boyfriend of the past nine years is engaged to someone else. You can't say yes--it would be too awkward. And you can't say no--it would look like defeat. On your desk are a series of invitations to half-baked literary events around the world.
How do you arrange to skip town? You accept them all.
​What could possibly go wrong?
Review

Greer's latest is a story unlike any other. Less is a tale of adventure and self discover, but it's also one of pain and love. The protagonist of the novel, Arthur Less, is a man who's struggled with emotions and relationships for a large portion of his life. And when the man he loves is said to get married, Less does everything in his power to avoid this confrontation: he flees.

This novel is beloved and moving because it's authentic and relatable. Many of Greer's readers have experienced heartbreak, but even more so, many of Greer's readers have felt lost and unfulfilled.
Less is a great piece because it's hopeful, heartwarming, and real. But despite this, Greer's writing style isn't for everyone. Although the storyline is refreshing, the author's diction makes the book tedious a lot of time. Because of this, I'd only recommend this novel to readers who enjoy a flowery writing style.
