The Discreet Pleasures Of Rejection by Martin Page

The Discreet Pleasures of Rejection by Martin Page, 182 pages

This was one of the strangest books I have ever read.  But, I think that it may have been because it was translated from French to English.  Virgil is a young man living and working in Paris who comes home from work one day and finds a message on his answering machine from a girl, whom he has never met, breaking up with him. Virgil does not remember the girl or the relationship.  He spends the next few weeks searching for the girl and questioning his whole existence from where he lives to his job.  This is a book of  self discovery and extreme oddness.
