Why read it?
1 author picked The Moustache as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love the sheer simplicity of this novel's theme and the chaos a simple act can wreck. The novel begins with the main character deciding to shave off the mustache he has had for more than a decade while his wife is out. When she returns, she says nothing about the missing mustache. When he brings it up, she denies he has ever had a mustache. Likewise, friends and colleagues say the main character never had a moustache.
Things get worse from there. The novel raises questions about identity, trust, and memory.
From Jeffrey's list on delightfully absurd works of fiction.
