Satin Island by Tom McCarthy
I loved the odd book which is a story told from the point of view of a corporate anthropologist working for a large consultancy firm which has just won a large government contract.
I like the way book meanders along but never seems to go anywhere (which is how the main character feels).
It is a series of seemingly unrelated anecdotes -- interesting historical facts, observations of people , random musings about things.
It is quite dark.
I like the sub-chapters - makes you feel like you are reading an actual academic report.
