More Pricks Than Kicks by Samuel Beckett
A collection of darkly comic, episodic vignettes centered on the lethargic, sardonic Belacqua Shuah, a Dublin antihero whose petty misfortunes, bungled romances, brushes with bureaucracy and encounters with death expose the absurdity and inertia of ordinary life; spare, witty prose and bleak humor fold into metaphysical undercurrents as the stories move from social misadventures to increasingly surreal, fatal outcomes, probing the failures of language, desire and meaning.
