Mr Phillips by John Lanchester
Over the course of a single summer day, a middle-aged London accountant who has just lost his job wanders the city instead of telling his family, drifting through chance encounters and private fantasies while tallying expenses, observing strangers, and confronting uneasy thoughts about sex, money, and mortality. His errand-like meander becomes an intimate, darkly comic meditation on the precariousness of ordinary life and the fragile structures—work, marriage, habit—that give it shape.
