Less Is Lost

This follow-up to Pulitzer winner Less follows protagonist Arthur Less on a cross-country adventure after the death of an old lover and a sudden financial crisis. Andrew Sean Greer has a knack for pitch perfect, let-me-read-it-one-more-time, can't-do-better-than-that soaring endings. When I finished Less, I wanted to flip back to the beginning of the book and start reading again, it was that good. The ending to Less Is Lost might be even better.
