I am terribly depressed. Not because I live a hopeless life with bad habits, have family problems, a sickness, or live in a country with hopeless political and social conditionst. I am accomplishing things in life and objectivly doing rather well, and live in one of the best countries in the world, yet I am constantly sad and have a very pessimistic mindset, wanting to kill myself all the time.

Any books for this feel? All depressive literature I come over is about people living hopeless lives and people going through depressive situations. I want something about having the inner depression that isn't because of the outer world.

Part of it is probably the language, at least to me. The Norwegian language it is written with (nynorsk/landsmål) is more associated with rural farmers life, especially since it is older. The plot itself is also in a rural farmer village, so it really absorbs you into the world. No idea how well it translates.

However, the plot itself is great. Really psychological (I usually hate using this term to describe literature and art, but this book really is), and lots of symbolic things going on.

What was relatable to me is how it captures being the person which never really can be included in any community because of their personality, as well as the consequences of being that person.

Just read it. It is not that long.
