I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out what made this Pulitzer-worthy. The premise was fine. The execution was fine. The exploration of what it is to be an aging gay man was fine. It wasn't as comedic as the cover would lead you to believe. It wasn't as dramatic as its premise might suggest. I've enjoyed other books by Greer more. I guess he got the title right, because I was left wanting more from a book that won the Pulitzer.
