Are there any good books (fiction/nonfiction) with a nonconformity theme?

1. First, a novel (fiction) by an American author that tells a story of a character that deliberately doesn't conform to society or situation and succeeds.

2. A primary source (interview, diary, memoir, autobiography) of a person who has successfully broken away from conformity, preferably short.

Thank you so much for answering!!
