Observatory Mansions (Vintage, 2002)
In Observatory Mansions a group of misfits live in a dilapidated apartment complex. What kind of misfits? Francis Orme is a living statue who steals the possessions of others to add to his private museum. Or how about a woman who behaves like a dog. Observatory Mansions was English author Edward Carey’s debut.
