Murray Tepper would say that he is an ordinary New Yorker who is simply trying to read the newspaper in peace. But he reads while sitting behind the wheel of his parked car, and his car always seems to be in a particularly desirable parking spot. Not surprisingly, he is regularly interrupted by drivers who want to know if he is going out.
Tepper isnβt going out. Why not? His explanations tend to be rather literal: the indisputable fact, for instance, that he has twenty minutes left on the meter.
Tepperβs behavior sometimes irritates the people who want his spot. (βIs that where you live? Is that car rent-controlled?β) It also irritates the mayorβFrank Ducavelli, known in tabloid headlines as Il Duceβwho sees Murray Tepper as a harbinger of what His Honor always calls βthe forces of disorder.β
But once New Yorkers become aware of Tepper, some of them begin to suspect that he knows something they donβt know. And an ever-increasing number of them are willing to line up for the opportunity to sit in his car with him and find out.
Tepper Isnβt Going Out is a wise and witty story of an ordinary man who, perhaps innocently, changes the world around him.
