Hi, I'm looking to get a book, preferably fiction but open to non-fiction, with a focus on loneliness.
I've been struggling with loneliness for too long, and despite a lot of effort it doesn't seem like I can get out. So I'd just like to read something that I can relate to, and then sulk in it, like listening to sad music when you're sad.
I'm not that much of a reader so I want something under 300 pages. Bonus points if it's something from East Asia so I can relate even more.
Books that I like and read recently are Convenience Store Woman, Before the Coffee Gets Cold, Days at the Morisaki Bookshop.

Anything by Camus. The Stranger and The Plague being high up there. Not East Asia, sorry. But the stories are really ‘internal’ to the narrators.
