Winner · The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, 2018
Arthur Less, a minor novelist about to turn fifty, accepts a series of literary invitations around the world to avoid attending his ex-boyfriend's wedding — and finds himself, almost despite his own bumbling, on a journey toward something like self-acceptance. Greer's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a comic, tender portrait of an unsuccessful writer who turns out to be the hero of his own story after all.
