Not looking for science fiction, sorry.

I have this on my reading list, guess I'll move it up. Thanks.

The protagonist in Steppenwolf is definitely disturbed.

How about The Stranger? The protag isn't really disturbed, just super bored.

Or pretty much anything by Bukowski.

>The Stranger
This is in part what I was thinking of when I created this thread. He isn't nearly a Stranger enough for me. Sure he's different from most people, but he has no issues interacting with them. There's a certain distance that I'm looking for that's missing from The Stranger.

You can take a walk at /r9k/ and portrait their dialogues.

My diary desu I'm sorry not sorry, sempai~

Notes from Underground is probably your best bet

I'm not saying Yozo had it good, his problems are just on a different level to the ones I'm interested in.
I don't think "No Longer Human" is a fitting description of Yozo's conditions though.

I've read it. I guess it sort of goes in the right direction, with the story with the policeman and so on, the story with the prostitute kind of ruins it though. He doesn't live in great enough (figurative) distance to the rest of humanity.

a rebours?
