"There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" is a short story written by Fernando Sorrentino that tells the story of a the relationship between the narrator and the man with the umbrella that hits the narrator for 5 consecutive years. The character of the man with the umbrella represents the monotony of everyday life and the absurdity of the modern world as he does the same action, which is in some way a useless action, every day no matter what, for 5 years. He, representing monotony and how the modern world works, shows no emotion and seems to be unaffected by anything that happens around him.
