The novel's anonymous narrator is a bitter, misanthropic veteran of the Russian civil service who has recently been able to retire because he has inherited some money. The novel consists of the "notes" that the man writes, a confused and often contradictory set of memoirs and confessions describing and explaining his alienation from modern society.
