«L'angoisse du gardien de but au moment du penalty» is the novel by Peter Handke, published by Folio in paperback (160 pages, in French).
A former goalkeeper who believes he has been fired from his job abandons everything and starts to wander. His drift turns into a flight after a violent act, with dangerous eccentricities. Only when watching a match in which a keeper saves a penalty does he find relief from his anxiety. An inner journey with the appearance of a crime novel.
