Similarities?

I was talking w/Ryan about our latest book (I hogged it and just finished so he hasn't read it yet) and he asked if the character was a bit like Lt. Glahn in Pan. I hadn't really thought about that but now that I'm done with the book, I think there certainly are similarities between the two...what do you guys think? Same strange modes of self-expression, self-absorption, juvenility, hostility toward women, neediness? And written around the same time...something to think about.
