description: Winner of the 2000 3-Day Novel-Writing ContestA capricious comedy of errors, "Small Apartments" resonates with tremulous energy and memorable characters. Franklin is a fully realized and sympathetic protagonist in the vein of Ignatius Reilly ("A Confederacy of Dunces"), a simple man who yearns for &amp;quote;a land of pastoral serenity&amp;quote; devoid of the irritants of contemporary urban life. An offbeat tale, "Small Apartments" is accented along the way by murder, strange fingernail collections, and the occasional blast from a treasured alphorn.
