Tepper Isn't Going Out by Calvin Trillin

funny lighthearted reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This book is surprisingly quaint, in a way that a book about parking in New York City can be. It’s a little bit of everything: a time capsule from before we all carried supercomputers in our pockets; a cozy legal/political thriller; A Man Called Ove-esque (or is A Man Called Ove more accurately Tepper Isn’t Going Out-esque?) Thoroughly enjoyable.
