What if you killed someone? What if no one knew the crime had been committed yet? With an axe hanging like a pendulum over his head (will it land, will it miss?), our narrator returns home after killing a one-night stand. How does one deal with this internal knowledge? What does it reveal about oneself? 244/1,001 #1001Books

AshleyHoss820 @BarbaraBB I am almost certain I found it on ThriftBooks! My copies are always in English if that makes a difference to anyone. ☺️ 5d

An odd little book, not my kind of thing but I can see how someone might like it. A construction worker and former goalie commits a murder. This book is his internal narration as he leaves town and wonders if he will be caught. He questions everything he does and says—but the people around him don‘t seem to think he‘s behaving strangely. Unsettling. #1001books
