The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick by Peter Handke

A really intense short novel about everyday things losing their sense of meaning.

Or a man’s increasingly intense inability to make sense of his reality.

It really progresses meticulously and takes you along on a difficult mental journey.

Influenced by Camus, at least for the book - he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2019 which created a fuss because he defended and supported Slobodan Milošević. This book was written all the way back in 1970 though and is the first I’ve read of his.
