I agree with you on some level; Miller's character is incredibly self-obsessed. But this book is intended to be in the stream of consciousness style, sort of like being in someone's head (which seems to be the impression a lot of people in our class are getting). So, in your own head, aren't we all pretty self-obsessed? Constantly thinking about how things affect us, what we have to do, how things are related to us, etc. I'm not so sure Miller's narrator isn't showing a fairly accurately portrayal of what we're like in our own heads, whether or not we want to admit it.
