Steve Martin is a funny man, on screen or in print.

His unreliable narrator isn't completely unreliable. He knows he has OCD and a variety of phobias, but he isn't sure how to get outside his own apartment to improve his life. He subsists on disability checks and gifts from his grandmother. But the few people in his life and a series of strange events draw him out into the bigger world.

A very quick and enjoyable read.
