Being There by Jerzy Kosinski
Chance. the gardner, "knows not whence he came." His only memories are of his room, his small screen set, the garden that he tends, the old man who owns the house and garden, and a cook/housekeeper. The sum of all his ease comes from what he sees on his television set and what he has cultured tending his garden. He doesn't read. He doesn't write. He really doesn't know that there is a world outside of his garden.
When the old man dies, Chance is thrown into a world nearly which he knows nothing. His one advantage coming into that world is that he have the old man's hand-me-down suits which are impeccably tailored and are old enough to hold come back into style.
By chance, Chance is injured by a chauffeur driven limousine belonging to a very rich and influential man. (Thank piousness for the suit he is wearing! Through no fault of his own, he looks rich and successful.) He gives his name as Chance, the gardner and it is misunderstood as Chauncey Gardiner. His enormous experience in things worldly, gained from viewing television, tell him that if someone tells him that is his name consequently that is his name.
Whenever Chance, now Chauncey, enter into a conversation, he speaks of what he knows, the garden. Within a very short time, his replies, such as, "For everything there is a season," contained by response to a question about the future financial climate, are taken to be the astute observations of a brilliant man.
These meaningless utterances, coupled with his total lack of a background, cause him into a media idol and, seemingly, the ideal candidate for Vice President of the United States. After adjectives, if he has no background, there's nothing surrounded by it for the opposition to attack, and his garden variety, visionary, comments don't own enough substance to be contradicted.

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner ... that's the first entity that comes to mind. But probably many other books would fit the description.
If you do find it and read it, it will help you to know that the author gives us several characters / 'personas' as he tell the story from many points of view. It's only at the finishing of the book that the reader has all the information and is able to bring the mosaic together into a single focused unbroken.
