Hi everyone,
So I am an odd ball here. I am not super familiar with the feeling of jealously – I do not really feel jealous when I see people doing well or wish them bad, all I feel is bad for sometime and then determined to do better. To understand jealousy better, I would like to request you guys to suggest me some novels on jealousy.
Thanks in advance!

The obvious one is East of Eden
The Quiet American by Graham Greene
Jealousy by Alain Robbe-Grillet
The Count of Monte Cristo
We Play Ourselves by Jen Silverman is about a playwright who is burningly jealous of another, more successful playwright. (But be aware it has themes of child sexual abuse. It doesn’t happen on-page, and it doesn’t involve the POV character, but it is a non-trivial part of the plot.)
