Has anybody ever written fiction where the star of the story is AN OBJECT (i.e. a tennis ball)?
What's the secret of success in this kind of exercise?

You can have an object as the main focus point, but a novel is about people so the 'thing' becomes secondary to the characters' reaction to it, I'd have thought.
I have an outline involving three 'objects' but while each is essential to the narrative it's how they impact on the characters lives that makes the story, rather than it being about the items themselves.
That's my view, anyway :)
