I thought of one, but it's not one I can recommend.
Noel Strachan in A Town Like Alice tells a straight story and he's both important yet tangential to the main story. However, not only is the racism off-putting (depending on where you fall on the "of its times" spectrum), it's a failure technically, since Noel ends up relating things he couldn't possibly have known, i.e., he's omniscient where he couldn't be.
