I'm about a fifth of the way thru 'The Long 20th Century' by Giovanni Arrighi and it's providing me with a powerful lens to understand history with and making me think a lot. I'd appreciate recommendations for some slower slice-of-life novels that capture the same feeling as 'what's eating Gilbert Grape' (less the quasi-pedophilia).

I am in Chapter 1 of the Long Twentieth Century. Someone a few posts ago suggested listening to Revolutions seasons while reading the book.
