Small Claims - Paperback

by Andrew Kaufman (Author)

Shortlisted for the 2018 ReLit Award

In this new novel by ReLit award-winning, Leacock-nominated writer
Andrew Kaufman, the narrator eschews the usual avenues of mid-life
crisis-sportscars, mistresses-and instead seeks meaning in the least
likely of places: small claims court. There, he struggles to understand
what's gone wrong in his marriage, his career as a writer, and his
relationship with his two young children.

With small observations, subtle investigations, and the pursuit of
small-scale justice, he attempts to rebuild his faith in humanity
through the framework of a court system that won't let you sue for
damages above twenty thousand dollars. Small Claims is a big dose of tenderness for the frailties of the heart.

"[Kaufman's] prose is so refreshingly heartfelt and natural that he makes it easy to believe."--The Coast
