The American A.J. Nock wrote <i>The Memoirs of a Superfluous Man</i>, which you can find on-line at <a href="https://mises.org/library/memoirs-superfluous-man" rel="nofollow">https://mises.org/library/memoirs-superfluous-man</a>. It makes for interesting reading, but I think less so the second time through.
