Have slept on it, no closer to an idea. Thinking of popular "outsider" fiction that was wildly popular and maybe "coming of age" of a sort. There was She’s Come Undone by Wally Lamb (1990) and the Bell Jar (1971 in the US but really more of a mental health journey), I know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969) Giles Goat Boy (1966, I haven't read it), Pardon Me, You're Stepping on My Eyeball! (1976, YA, all of Zindel is so good) and the Starhawk book was The Fifth Sacred Thing
