Das Harte Leben by Flann O'Brien
An Exegesis of Squalor
A mordant comic novel set in Dublin that skewers clerical power, petty-bourgeois respectability and the education system through the misadventures of a dysfunctional school and the small, self-deluding lives connected to it; written in absurdist, darkly humorous prose, it juxtaposes banal squalor with grotesque episodes to expose hypocrisy, delusion and the quiet tragedies of ordinary people.
