Literary Question

Recommended Posts

Trying to remember this book - fairly famous I guess.

 

All I've got is the lead is a grocery story clerk (adult) with a family.

Owner of the shop is Italian and kind of a jerk.

 

It's a morality play of sorts. Kind of a classic.

Longshot - but - ???

Dude, you are a freaking rockstar!

More than you know - for YEARS now I've been conflating this story with Walden's

"Most men lead lives of quiet discontent" passage.

 

THAT's where the 'discontent' bleeds in!

 

Thanks!
