I've never read anything quite like this odd tale of man whose obsession with auctioneering is only exceeded by his attraction to teeth - other people's - once they are removed from the original owners' heads. The story has the feel of wandering around an abandoned museum filled with peculiarities that are bizarre and vaguely unsettling. Comparisons are difficult - Graham Greene and Chuck Palahniuk come to mind. If you enjoy a strong sense of place, good writing, and don't necessarily need to like your characters to engage with them, this might be the book for you.
