Thanks for the David Lodge recommendation, seems interesting. I think you might like Esch by Hermann Broch. I think it's called The Anarchist in English, might be hard to get though. It's part of a novel trilogy called The Sleepwalkers which is readily available however. And based on the description of Cane you should read The Lonely Londoners, which is a great read, especially if you like Joyce.

I choose based on entertainment value, because entertainment is the main purpose of fiction.
