Hello /lit/
I am looking for a book that has a first person main character who is detached from society, and finds it difficult to comprehend the feelings of other. I'd prefer a Russian author.

Anyone have some ideas?

MAYBE OBLOMOV?

OR DEMONS - DOSTOEVSKY?

Notes From Underground by Dostoevsky.

The Stranger by Camus also fits your description, but it's french.

>> No.1581028

I support you caps guy. Some faggot is posing as OP. Oblomov looks good, even if it wasn't what i was looking for, it seems like a classic.

The Isle du Gilligan.

Written in French but some decent English translations available. Also, a minis-series was made for American T.V. in the 1960s.

Can't remember the author.
