Need suggestions

[Anonymous No.3715678]

I never knew my dad, and it's really starting to get to me lately, I have no fucking idea why, it's never bothered me before now. He is dead, so finding him and striking up some sort of relationship is out of the question.

So. I need suggestions for novels that touch on the search for a father figure when you don't have one. The only novels I've ever encountered that deal with this idea to any degree are Shantaram and fucking Pet Sematary.

I'm not looking for like. A sappy meditation where someone bemoans not having daddy around or anything, or even that this is a central theme of the book, I'd just like to read something where the protagonist at some point addresses the search or need or yearning for some sort of father figure.

I know that feel OP.
I always thought that if I became a writer, I'd write a book with that as one of its themes.

Nah dude, just impoverished white trash. My father was actually quite wealthy, but him and my mother were just a one-night stand.

Just let a stout hairy guy fuck you good and deep in the ass.

Instant cure.

Extremely loud and incredibly close fits the bill but its fairly pleb and is mostly narrated by an autistic smarmy little shit of a kid.

I'll pirate it and check out a chapter or two and see if it's anything I'd like. Thanks.

Thanks. I've actually only read one or two of Faulkner's short stories, so I'll probably be checking Absalom out for sure after I finish up with class next Wednesday.
