I'm an 18 year old white kid who's extremely melodramatic about where he is in his life. I've found pic related and "The Stranger" by Albert Camus to be helpful. Any book recommendations for coming of age?

My best advice to you is to not get involved in identity politics, on either side.
As for coming of age stories, the best ones I've seen are in weebshit (Eva, FLCL, NHK, Aku no Hana, The Wind Rises). Siddhartha is also alright, though.

Forgot to add, Madoka Magica could technically be added to this, although it falls more into the "rebellion/sacrifice" trope.

Pleb here, is portrait the full title of the book? Who is the author?

I don't get it. Why do people who are against the so called SJWs who make 'whiteness' a supposed fuss to happy to take it upon themselves? It's fucking absurd. If you're a low socioeconomic16th generation Irish-American, your personal context and needs would be vastly different from being the son of a Siberian oligarch, or from being a Corsican fisherman
