The Pigeon

... is the title of Patrick Suskind's follow up novella after the much celebrated Perfume: The Story of a Murderer.

While I admit it's not badly written (or translated, rather as it was German to begin with), but the plot is damn ridiculous.

It's about a man in his fifties who gets into personal crisis after encountering a pigeon roosting in front of his door one morning. The events occur over 24 hours. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
