I haven't read anything quite like it in genre fiction, but there are some literary authors who write existential stuff like that. Mostly Chinese and Japanese... Murakami writes like that... Strange, half-dream surreal stuff...

Steppenwolf is probably the closest I can think of to what you're describing. It's probably the most famous one that I've read at least.

I'd say give Steppenwolf (by Herman Hesse) a read and go from there. Read some of the more popular ones, that's the only way you'll really get a sense of where you'd want to fit.
