London And The South East by David Szalay
A drifting thirty-something advertising salesman working the commuter belt cold-calls small businesses to buy space in a dubious directory, clinging to the prospect of promotion as his relationship frays and debts mount. Under relentless targets and office rivalries, he slips deeper into lies and self-deception, yielding a bleakly comic portrait of hollow ambition, moral compromise, and the soul-sapping grind of contemporary work and masculinity.
