Luigi Pirandello was an Italian author who wrote an amazing story about a man whose wife informs him one day that his nose is just slightly crooked and this completely shatters his foundation of identity and what he discovers is that he's not just one person but many different people depending on whom he's interacting with. An absurdist existential comedic tragedy maybe yeah we'll go with that but it's one of the best things I read last year.
One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand (1926)
When Vitangelo Moscardo's wife tells him his nose is tilted to one side, he becomes obsessed with the fact that each person sees him differently, and with trying to make other people see him only as the person he wants them to see.
