Treacle Walker by Alan Garner, shortlisted for the 2022 Booker, has 152 pages but once you remove the 43 blank ones introducing each section you find the actual text is only 109 pages in length, a few at the end of some chapters consisting of only partially filled pages.

Utz by Bruce Chatwin. Shortlisted in 1988. 154 pages in paperback format. Quite beautiful.
