I just finished reading an excellent book of short stories;
very funny and also (some of them) quite sad.  Many are set
in the Bronx, if that whets your appetite.  I never thought
much of the Bronx before, but now I might want to go visit...
 
"Criers and Kibitzers, Kibitzers and Criers" by Stanley Elkin.
It's out in paperback.  Perhaps I have the name backwards.
Anyhow, I don't often like short stories but these were very good.
