The Sarah Book by Scott McClanahan

A raw, fragmentary first-person account of a man consumed by memories of a past lover, tracing the tender, violent, and often absurd moments that made up their life together in a small Appalachian town; the narrator weaves domestic detail, confessional rants, and hallucinatory digressions into a relentless meditation on desire, grief, addiction, masculinity, and the impossibility of reconstructing the past, producing a fiercely intimate, lyric, and sometimes brutal portrait of love’s aftershocks.

The 17010th greatest book of all time
