2. Less

By Andrew Sean Greer (273 pp)(ebook)

I used to keep track the Pulitzer fiction winners and make sure to read them but it's slipped away from me the last ten years or so. I picked up this knowing nothing about it except for the award and it was a wonderful surprise. It's about modestly successful novelist who sets out on a trip around the world so he can avoid his boyfriend's wedding. It is funny and relatable and he experiences quite a variety of adventures. I think my favorite was the ancient restaurant in Japan. Love this writer's writing and plan to read him again.
