I'm nominating The Ginger Man by J. P. Donleavy. The description from Goodreads:

Set in Ireland just after World War II, The Ginger Man is J.P. Donleavy's wildly funny, picaresque classic novel of the misadventures of Sebastian Dangerfield, a young American ne'er-do-well studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Dangerfield's appetite for women, liquor, and general roguishness is insatiable -- and he satisfies it with endless charm.

It's available at all the usual venues in the US and it's couponable at Kobo.
