Andrew Sean Greer is an American novelist whose comic novel Less (2017) won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The book follows Arthur Less, a minor novelist approaching fifty, who accepts a string of dubious literary invitations around the world to avoid attending his ex-boyfriend’s wedding. The sequel, Less Is Lost (2022), sends Arthur on a road trip across America.
Before his Pulitzer win, Greer published several well-regarded literary novels including The Confessions of Max Tivoli (2004), a reverse-aging love story, and The Story of a Marriage (2008). His work often blends wry humor with emotional depth, and the Arthur Less novels have found a wide audience for their warm, self-deprecating comedy.
