ennui please. books about ennui, existential depression, listlessness, sociopathy, psychopathy, desensitization, hopeless addiction, loss of faith/hope/etc., amorality, pessimism, characters trapped in their own thoughts, or anything that evokes something along those lines.

as stated, anything similar to these feelings. i just want to read something about a character who’s trapped in this way. it also doesn’t need to be a book that itself is pessimistic and dire, it can be a book that’s narrative/author contradicts this viewpoint, so long as the narrative is about that sort of negative feeling or absence of feeling.

i’m open to any genre
