Without Remorse by Tom Clancy.

It tell the story of a big guy who becomes CIA after his wife's car is crashed with no survivors. Also set during the tail end of Vietnam and has proto-CIA picking up a hooker from a basketball American prostitution ring as a gf for a major plotline, so there is plenty of opportunities for It Ain't Me, BLACKED and cuck jokes, which I'm sure your memeing faggot ass would appreciate.

>inb4 Clancy is a shit author

Nobody with any sense denies this, but no one said the books recommended had to be good either.

It reminds me of the scene in the beginning where he, among other things, curses his existence in his tiny, suffocating world that is his study and nearly kills himself to "get out" of it.
Like Mr Bearo has his picture that shows him the vast world he could have gone out into - but can't, Faust has his books that do much the same.
