Making Love by Jean-Philippe Toussaint

A spare, deadpan first-person narrative that follows a man as he navigates the unraveling of a romantic relationship, alternating between quotidian domestic detail and brief travel episodes to probe desire, infidelity and emotional disconnection; through understated observation and wry irony, it examines the awkwardness of intimacy and the difficulty of making sense of love.
