Indian living in Germany for the last 6 years. Feel like I belong lesser and lesser in India and ofcourse definitely don’t feel like I fit in in Germany either. I am also different in both cultures and feel like I’m living two lives.
Any books that explore this theme more? Could just be validating or explaining what I mean, or maybe practical books on how to deal with it.

That’s a great ask. I’m looking for something similar with an academic or studying abroad theme. Asian students going abroad to study, feeling isolated.
Hunter S Thompson . The Rum Diary
The Sheltering Sky might fit the bill. Paul Bowles
I just finished My Friends by Hisham Matar. It has a few topics it deals with, and it isn’t exactly about an identity crisis, but it does talk about the feeling of living somewhere that isn’t home (in this case, in exile). Beautiful book, I would recommend it!
