About this title: Calvin Trillin's comic novel--a small valentine to New York City--is about a man named Murray Tepper, a Manhattanite who has mastered the intricacies of finding a parking place in the city. (Trillin calls it "the first parking novel.") Once Murray gets a spot, he has no intention of leaving it: he parks, then sits in his car. The consequences of his actions--which are seen as subversive by an autocratic Giuliani-ish mayor known as "Il Duce"--are unexpected and extremely funny. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
