I've recently finished reading no longer human and it's a masterpiece of human misery. I highly recommend to go read it if you haven't yet. 

A story about a man whose entire life is coated in misery based on his fear of humans. I believe if you've ever had a dark place in your life you could find something insightful in this book. The main character himself isn't a great person. In fact, hes a terrible person never going out of his way to cause harm but causing it anyway due to his carelessness with his life and fear of human beings. 

Abused in his childhood Oba Yozo (Main Character) made the realization that every human being has wants and there are undertones in every action of human beings to receive those wants. He grows up "Clowning" a tactic he created hoping that if he made the humans around him laugh then maybe they wouldn't brother him. 

Oba finds soclice in Alachol because it's simply only when he's drunk is when he's finally slightly liberated from the deep fear of humans. 

more towards the ending of the book I didn't get a sense of relief but was just tired. I've read pages and pages of pain by the main character or the people around him and by the end, you're just as tired as Oba was his entire life.

"Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness. Everything Passes That is the one and only thing that I have thought resembled a truth in the society of human beings where I have dwelled up to now as in a burning hell. Everything passes.”
