I just finished reading A Whole Life by Robert Seethaler which is a short novella that can be completed in one-sitting. Its about the secluded and humble life of Andreas Egger, a lone human being who has spent his whole life living in a mountain valley in Austria. Though the story is very slow paced, it has an abundance of scenic and atmospheric prose. I thought it was a quietly dignified look into the solitary life of its very modest protagonist. It didn't try to grab my attention or pull me in as the reader through any fanciful means, it simply told the unassuming story of Andreas' ordinary life without trying to sound like an award-winning bestseller. It was a very self aware read that most people who don't mind a very slow-burner will enjoy
