Andrew Sean Greer was the recipient of the 2018 Pulitzer Fiction award. His winning novel was 'Less'. This book might have been selected because it had a unique voice. It could have been that the story was told in a way that was both charming and profound. Maybe it had characters that were vividly drawn and relatable. Also, the writing style might have been something that the judges really liked, with a flow and rhythm that made it a pleasure to read while also delivering a meaningful story.
