The main character, the narrarater, is a self-avowed anti-hero; cruel, mean and lacking any ethical boundaries , he needlessly suffers for his transgressions because he is sick and tries to subjugate people, even those who love him in spite of his reclusive predilection. He only torments himself however. No one stays behind to bother him
He reminds me of Dorian Gray, James Taggart of Atlas Shrugged, the stranger in Camus and the main character of Blue Eyes, Black Hair by Marguerite Duras. How can you believe in your own existence and not in the existence of a Creator.
