I Bought a Little City

I liked this one, probably because I love Futurama's Godfellas episode and appreciate a little surrealism/absurdism. Donald Barthelme lists Kafka as an influence of his writings.

"I learned something—don't play God. A lot of other people already knew that, but I have never doubted for a minute that a lot of other people are smarter than me, and figure things out quicker, and have grace and statistical norms on their side."
