Books on alienation? Bonus points if it gives a solution.

Dostoevsky and Pessoa don’t offer any solutions.

Nausea by Sartre is the immediately hugely obvious choice.

How about some short stories instead?
>"HMS Terror"
>"Forcing Joy on Young People"
Both by Jim Shepard, both can be found in the collection The World to Come. Neither offer a solution. Forcing Joy focuses more on alienation from your family, HMS Terror is about being alienated from humanity in general and is more overt about the subject.

It even provides the solution

No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai is great, and the most interesting out of everything suggested so far.

And it has solutions?
