Apathy and Other Small Victories
''Apathy and Other Small Victories'' is an English novel written by Paul Neilan. ''Apathy'' follows the story of Shane, a misdirected and hopelessly apathetic man in his mid-twenties. It has been compared to Benjamin Kunkel's ''Indecision''. The book is described by Max Barry as being the "funniest book he'd ever read" and a review in ''Daily Kos'' characterized it as "magnificent, one-of-kind, immensely interesting, a five star must-read, and hilarious", but a review in ''Booklist'' characterized it as "Juvenile fun for undiscerning lads with two hours to kill."〔Frank Sennett, review of ''Apathy and Other Small Victories'', ''Booklist'', 15 May 2006〕
The book's official introduction states "The only thing Shane cares about is leaving. Usually on a Greyhound bus, right before his life falls apart again. Just like he planned. But this time it's complicated: there's a sadistic corporate climber who thinks she's his girlfriend, a rent-subsidized affair with his landlord's wife, and the bizarrely appealing deaf assistant to Shane's cosmically unstable dentist. When one of the women is murdered, and Shane is the only suspect who doesn't care enough to act like he didn't do it, the question becomes just how he'll clear the good name he never had and doesn't particularly want: his own."
==Plot==
The lead character Shane is brought in for questioning concerning the murder of his dentist's deaf assistant. The story is a collection of flashbacks narrated by Shane describing the story, characters and the situation along with the circumstances and events that lead to the death of the assistant.
