Small Crimes in an Age of Abundance is Matthew Kneale’s 2005 short story collection. The book brings together stories set across multiple countries, examining the small moral compromises and petty misdeeds that people commit in their daily lives.
The collection reflects Kneale’s international outlook and his interest in how ordinary people behave when they think nobody is watching. The stories are set in locations ranging from Tokyo to Rome, and they share Kneale’s sharp eye for human behavior and his willingness to find dark comedy in uncomfortable situations.
