Small, taut, darkly comic gem of a novel that received no publicity. Balances bleak social satire with deeply empathatic characters, which most comic novels cannot do. Funny and smart about human relationships. Oddly enough, I also love a small, non-hyped, funny nonfiction book about fatherhood, "I Sleep At Red Lights: A True Story of Life After Triplets," by Bruce Stockler. Funny and compassionate and insightful, also, but delightful rather than dark.
