folks, I'm doing a bit or research and am looking for a list of books from any ficton genre that contain basically one main character dominating the reader's viewpoint I.e from start to finish the story is either seen through the eyes of this character or he is largely ever-present in all settings.

I'm thinking along the lines of camus' "the outside" and to a large extent "ulysses"

 

any help is appreciated

 

note: - obviously I'm aware that most books have one main character but just to repeat the point - I'm looking for books where we find out very little about other characters. tks

If I'm understanding you properly, The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid would be good one to try. It's entirely told by one person who is chatting to an unnamed man in a café . The protagonist, Changez, has all the dialogue.

I am Legend by Richard Matheson, everything is from the point of view from the main character, Robert Neville, because he is the last man and everyone else has been infected a vampire virus :)
