Phillip Roth - The Human Stain isn't strictly what you're looking for, but it's still a very good read. It isn't like Ellis' novels where the protagonist isolated more or less due to the construction of society. This is an "identity novel" where protagonist is at conflict with himself due to his identity. If you like that I would recommend other Phillip Roth books as well.
