The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick

A soccer-goalie-turned-construction-worker decides that a casual glance from his foreman means he is fired, so he leaves his job and starts wandering aimlessly around his city. After stalking and killing a movie cashier, he leaves and wanders around another town.
The back of the book describes the writing as "fractured prose" and I definitely agree with the description. I know that the style is showing the increasing paranoia of the main character and his crumbling sanity, but sometimes it gets confusing. For example, here is an excerpt from page 38:

'Even though the window was open, it was impossible to see into the customs shed; the room was too dark from the outside. Still, somebody must have seen Bloch from the inside; he understood this because he himself held his breath as he walked past. Was it possible that nobody was in the room even though the window was wide open? Why "even though"?'

As the story progresses, the writing gets even more choppy and baffling. From page 77: "To his left he saw...To his right there was...Behind him he saw...He got hungry and walked away."

You will need some patience to get through this book if you are not a fan of this writing style. The book also feels unfinished, but I suppose you can infer what eventually happens to Bloch. The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick by Peter Handke is not casual reading.
