The Butt by Will Self
An Exit Strategy
In a surreal and darkly comedic narrative, a man on vacation in an unnamed tropical country inadvertently flicks a cigarette butt that injures a local, setting off a chain of bizarre events. As he becomes entangled in the country's convoluted legal system, he embarks on a Kafkaesque journey through a landscape filled with eccentric characters and absurd bureaucratic hurdles. The story explores themes of guilt, responsibility, and the unpredictable consequences of seemingly trivial actions, all while satirizing the complexities of cultural misunderstandings and the absurdities of modern life.
