Serious suggestionThe Education of Hyman Kaplan by Leo Rosten.
An incredibly funny bit of fiction but, in my experience, hard to track down. (And if it's not obscure enough then ask him for the sequel as well)

Wasn't that by Mordecai Richler?There may even have been a film
edit - sorry: I was thinking of Duddy Kravitz. But you knew that.

Yeah, I think the furthest Hyman Kaplan gotwas the dizzy heights of being serialised on Radio 4.
It was good though.
